CARE OF FORTIFICATIONS.
36. No person shall be permitted to walk upon any of the slopes of a
fortification, except the rnmpsand glacis. If, in any case, it be necessary
to provide for crossing them, it should be done by placing wooden steps
or stairs against the slopes. The occasional walking of persons on a
parapet will do no harm, provided it be not allowed to cut the surface
into paths.
37. No cattle, horses, or other animal shall ever bo permitted to go
upon the slopes, the ramparts, or the parapets, nor upon tiie glacis, ex-
cept within fenced limits, which- should not approach the crest nearer
. than 30 feet. - ' ^
38. All grassed surftices, excepting the glacis, will be carefully and
frequently mowed, (except in dry weather,) and the oftener the better,
while growing rapidly-^the grass being never allowed to be more than
ft few inches high. In order to cut the grass even and close, npyn small
slopes, a light one-handed scytiie should be used ; and i«n mowing the
steep slopes, the moyver siiould stand on a light ladder resting against
* the slope, and not upon the grass. Crops of hay may be cut on the
glacis; or, if fenced, itmiy be used as pasture, otherwise it should bo
treated as other slopes of tlie fortification. On all the slopes, spots of
dead grass will be cut out and replaced by fresh sod. All weeds will
be eradicated.
39. The burning; of grass upon any portion of a fortification is strict-
ly forbidden. . • ^ ♦
40. Particular attention is required to prevent the formation of gul-
lies in the parade, terreplein, and ramps, and especially in slopes where
grass is not well establislied.
4X. Earth, sand or ashes, must not be placed against wood work ; a

platforms, bridges, &c., will be kept clean swept.
42. The machinery of draw bridges, gates, and posterns miist be kept
in good working order by proper cleaning and oiling of the parts ; the
bridges will be raised, and the gates and posterns opened as often as
once a week.
43. The tferrepleins of forts, the floors of cnsemates,' caponnlers, store-
rooms, barracks, ghllericp, posterns, magazines, &c., and the side-walks
in front of quarters, as well as otlier wiilks, are sometimes paved with
brick or stones, or formed of concrete. These.surfa«.'es must be prcfserved
from injury with great care*- In transjiortiug guns and carriages, and
in mounting them, strong way-planks will he used, and neither tlie
wheels nor any otlier part of the carriages, nor any machinery, such as
shears, gins, &c., nor any handspike or other implements, will be allowed
to touch those surfaces. Unless protected in asimilar manner, no wheel-
barrow, or vehicle, or barrel, shall be rolled on 'said surfaces. No vio-
lent work will be done, nor any heavy weight sufiered to fall upon them.
In using ma(thines, as gins, &c., in casemates, care must be taken not to
injure the arch, or ceiling, or tloors. Neglect of these precautions may
cause" injuries apparently slight, but serious in efifecr, from leaking of
water into masonry, casemates, &c.
44. The doors and windows of all store rooms and unoccupied case-'
mates, quarters, barracks, .&c., will be opened several times a week for
thorough ventilation.
45. Masonry shot-furnaces will be heated only on the approach of an
enemy. For ordinary practice with hot shct, iron furnaces are provided.
46. The foregoing matters involve but little expense; the labor is
within the mea .s of every garrison, and no technical knowledge is re-
quired beyond what will he found among soldiers. Other repairs in-
quiring small disbursements, such as repainting exposed wood or iron
work, can be also excuted by the garrison ; but reports, estimates; and
requisitions, may be Accessary to obtain the materials.
' " 47. No alteration will be made h\ any fortification, or in any build-
ing whatever belonging to it, nor in any building or work of any kind;
nor will any building or work of earth, masonry, or timber, be erected
within the fof tiiication, or on its exterior, within half a mile, except
under the superintendence of the Engineer Department, and by authori-
ty of the Secretary of War.

care should be taken for their preservation,* by the use of oil, but never
using varnish.
52. Magazines should be frequently examined to see that the powder
is well preserved. They should be opened every other day, when the
air is dry and clear. Barrels of powder should be turjied and rolled
Occasionally. Under ordinary circumstances, only a few cartridges
should be kept filled. If the paper body of the cartridge becomes soft,
or loses its sizing, it is certain that tlie magazine is very damp, and
means should be found to improve the ventilation. Cartridge bags may
be kept in the magazine ready for filling ; also port fires, fuses, tubea
and primers. Stands of grape, cannister, and wads, for barbette guns
should be kept in store with the implements. In casemate guns, wads
may be bung in bundles, and grape and cannister near the guns. Shot,
-♦veil lacquered and clean, may be placed in piles near the guns.

ARTILLERY rRACTICE,
«
53.*At all posts with fixed batteries, the position of every gun, mount-
ed or to be mounted, will have its number, and this number be placed
on the gun when in position.
54. For every such work a post-book of record will be kept, under the
direction of the commander of the post, in which will be duly entered,
the number of each mounted gun, its calibre, weight, names of founder,
and its inspector, and other marks : the description of its carriage and
date of reception at the post; where from, and the greatest field of firo
of the gun in its position.
55. Every commander of a fort, or other fixed battery, will, before
entering on artillery practice, carefully reconnoitre, and cause to bo
sketched for his record book, the water channels, with their soundingrj
and other approaches to the Atork, Buoys or marks will be placed at
the extreme and intermediate ranges of the guns, and these marks bo
numerically noted on the sketch. A buoy at every five hundred yards
may suffice.
56. At the time of practice a distinct and careful note will be made
"for the record-book, of every shot or shell that may be thrown, desig-
nating the guns fired by their numbers, the charges of powder used, the
time of flight of shots and sIiqUsj the ranges and ricochets, and the po- *
eitions of guns in respect to the horizontal and vertical lines. "
57. Tlje time of flight of a shell may be noted with sufficient acouracy
by a.Btop-watoh, or by counting the beata (previously ascertaining their
REGIMENTS.
value) of other watches, and the range may sometimes be computed by
the time of flight. Other modes ascertaining the range will readily oc- v
cur to officers of science.
58. When charged shells with fuze are thrown, 'the time of bursting
will be noted. If they are intended to fall on land, only a blowing
charge will be given to the shells, so tliat they may be picked up for
further use.
59. On lining from the barrel, the proof range of powder will bo
marked on the cartridges.
CO. The general objects of this practice are, to give to officers and
men the ready and effective use of batteries ; to preserve on record the
more inipojlant results for the benefit of the same, or future command-
ers, and to ascertain the efficiency of guns and carriages.
01. The commanders of field artillery will nlso keep registers of theiv
practice, so that not a shot or shell shall be thrown in the a'rmy, for in-
.struction, without distinct objects, such as range, accuracy of aim, num-
ber , of ricochets, time of bursting in the case of shells, &c.
• G2. Th.) issue of blxnk cartridges for the drill and instruction, of the
light artillery companies will be authorized in such quantities as may be
necessaryf on.Yequisitions dul}'^ approved by the proper department.
03. Fo?' %rtillery there" will be three annual periods of practice in
firing, viz : in Apnl, June and October. At the termination of each
period the commanding officers of posts will transmit to the Adjutant-
General full reports of the results.
04. To determine accuracy in firing shot and shell, butts or targets
will be used. If no natural butt presents itself, targets will be erected.
05. As practice in gunnery is a heavy expense, commanders of com*
panics, and their imtnediate superiors, are charged with the strict execu-
tion of the foregoing details ; and all ofJicers on inspection duty will re-
port through the proper channels, upon such execution.
ARTICLE XII,
REGIMENTS.
CO. On the organization of a regiment, companies receive a permanent
designation by letters beginning with A, and the officers are assigned to

comniandinjr; the compai'y in which the sergeant has been serving, to
which I .add the following remarks :
r— , Commanding Regiment.
12G. When a company is detached from the headquarters of the regi-
ment, the reports of the commanding ofhcer in this mntter, will pass to
Ihe regimental headquarters through the commanding officer of the
■post or detachment, and be accompanied by his opinion as to the fitness
of the candidate.
127. Ordnance sergeants will Ijc assigned to posts when appointed,
and are not to be transferred to other sliUions except by orders from
the Adjutant agd Inspector General's office.
128. At the expiration of their term of service, ordnance sergeants
may be re-enlisted, provided they shall have conducted themselves in a
becoming manner," and perff)rmed their duties to the satisfaction of tho
commanding otlicer. If the commanding dfiieer, however, shull not
think, proper to re enlist the ordnance sergeant of his post, he will not
discharge him at the expiration of his service, unless it shall be tho
wish of the sergeant, but will communicate to the Adjutant and Inspec-
tor General his reasons for declining to re-enlist him, to be submitted
to the War Dejjartment.
129. The officers interested must be aware, from the nature of the
dutie-s^ assigned to ordnance sergeants, that the judicious selection of
them is of no small importance to the interests of the service ; and that
while the law contemplates, in the appointment of these non-commis-
sipned officers, the better preservation of the ordnance and ordnance
stores in deposit in the several forts, there is the further motive of of-
fering a reward to those faithful and well-tried sergeants who ha^'e long
served their country, and of thus giving encouragement to tlie soldier
in the rgnks to emulate them in conduct, and .thereby secure substan-
tial promotion. Colonels and captains can not, therefore, bo too par-

133. If a post be evacuated, the ordnance sergeant shall remain on •
duty at the station,. -under the direction of the Chief of the Ordnance De-
partment, in charge of the ordnance and ordnance stores, and of such
other public property as is not in charge of some officer or agent of other
Departments ; for whicli ordnance stores and other property he will ac-
count to the chiefs of the proper departments until otherwise directed.
134. An ordnance sergeant in charge of ordnance stores at a post
where there is no commissioned officer, shall be held responsible for the .
safe keeping of the property, and he shall bo governed by the regula-
tions of the Ordnaoce Department in making issues of the same, and in
preparing and furnishing the requisite returns. If the means at his
•disposal are not sufficient for the preservation of the property, he shall
report the circumstances to the Chief of ti)e Ordnance Department.
135. Ordnance sergeants are to be considered asbelonging to the non-
commissioned staff of. the post, under the orders of the commanding •
officer. They are to wear the uniform, with the distinctive badges pre-
scribed for the non-commissioned staff, of regiments of artillery; and
they are to appear under arms w^th the troops at all reviewd and in-
spections, monthly and weekly*
13G. When serving at any post which may be the headquarters of a

pany stationed at the post at which they serve ; be paid on the nmaster-
roll, and be charged with the clothing and all other supplies previously
received from any officer, or subsequently issued to them by the com-
manding officer of the company for the time being. Whenever the
company may be ordered from the post, the ordnance sergeant will be
transferred to the rolls of any remaining company, by th^ order of the
commaiiding officer of the post.
137. In the event of the troops being all withdrawn from a post at
which there is an ordnance sergeant, he shall be furnished with his de-
scriptive roll and account of clothing and pay, signed by the proper

after passing the reviewing officer, wheel to the left out of the column,
and take a position opposite and facing him, and will continue to play

and follow in the rear uf the battalion, unless the battalion is to pass ii\
quick time, also, in which case it will keep its position.
348. The officers will . salute the reviewing officer when they arrive
■within six paces of him, and recover thtir swords when six paces past

on its original ground of formation. The review will terminate in the
same manner as prescribed above.

as a battalion, and a single company as if it were with the battalion.

this further difference will be observed : the reviewing personage,
joined by the General of the division, on the right of hU division, will
proceed down th3 line, parallel to its front, and when near the Briga-
dier-Generals respectively, will be saluted by their brigades in succes-
sion. The music of each, after the prescribed salute, will play while
the reviewing personage is in front, or in rear of it, and only then.
359. In marching in review, with several battalions in common time,
tl^ music of each succeeding battalion will commence to play when the
music of the preceding'one has ceased, in order to follow its battalion.
When marching in quick time, the music will begin to play when the
rear company of the preceding battalion has passed the reviewing of-
ficer. •
360. The reviewing officer or personage will acknowledge the salute
by raising, or taking off his cap or hat, when the commander of the

principles, and according to the systems Of instruction fur those aiTins of

circumstances, which may sometimes require their continuing on duty
several days. In such cases they must be previously warned to pro-
vide themselves accordingly.
363. At the first call for guard-mounting, the men warned for duty
turn out on their company parades for inspection by the First Ser-
geants; <ind at the second call, repair to the regimental or garrison

ARTICLE XXXVI.
TROOPS IN CAMPAIGN. ••
ORGANIZATION OP AN ARMY IN THE FIELD.
461. The formation by divisions is the basis of the organization and
administration of armies in the field.
462. A division consists usually of two or three brigades, either of
infantry or cavalry, and troops of other corps in the necessary propor-
tion.
463. A brigade is formed of two or more regiments. The first num-
ber takes the right.
464. Mixed brigades are sometimes formed of infantry and light cav-
alry, especially for the advance guards.
465. As the troops arrive at the rendezvous, the general commanding-
in-chief will organize them into brigades and divisions.
466. I'he light cavalry .is employed as flankers and partizans, and
generally for all service out of the line.
467. Heavy cavalry belongs to the reserve, and is covered, when ne-
cessary, in marches, camps, or bivouacs, by light troops, or infantry of
the line.
468. The arrangement of the troops on parade and in order of battle
is — 1st, the light infantry ; 2d, infantry of the line; 3d, light cavalry ;
4th, cavalry of the line; 5th, heavy cavalry. The troops of the artil-
lery and engineers are in the centre of the brigades, divisions, or corps
to which they are attached ; marines take the left of other infantry ;
volunteers uhd militia take the left of regular tro{>p8 of the same arm,
and among themselves, regiments of volunteers or militia of the same
arm take place by lot. This arrangement is varied by the general com-
manding in-chief, as the circumstances of war render expedient.
469. Brigades in divisions, and divisions in the army, are numbered
from right to left; but in reports of military operations, brigades and
divisions are designated by the nanje of the general commanding t'bem.
470. The order of regiments in brigades and of brigades in divisions
may be changed by the commander of the division for important rea-
sons, such as the weakness of some corps, or to relieve one from march-
ing too long at the rear of the column. Such changes must be reported
to the general commanding-in-chief.
471. The general commanding-in-chief assigns the generals of divi-
sions and of brigades to their respective commands, when the assign-
ment is not made by the Department of War.
472. The general of brignae ii^spects his troops in detail, by compa-
nies, when ho takes the command artd at the opening of th» campaign,
CONXIIIBUTIONI — ORDRai,rEi. f»l
ivnd as often as may be necessary to ascertain exactly theireoodition.
Tlie general of division makes similar inspections when he thinks pro-
per. At th^ge inspections the generals examine the arms, clothing,
equipments, harness, horses, &c. ; direct the necessary repairs, and de-
eignato the men and horses to remain in depot, or march with the train.
473. Reports of inspections are made by the general of brigade to
the general of divisioa, and by the general of division to the general
commanding-in chief.
474. Daring marches and all active operations, generals of brigade
l^ecp themselves exactly informed, b. reports of corps and by their in-
spections, of Uie actual strength of the regiqaents, so as always, and
especially after an engagrntient, to make accurate returns to the general
of division.
475. Staff officers and officers of engineers, and artillery, according
to the nature of the service, are assigned to the headquarters of ar-
mies and divisions, and detached brigades, by order of the general com-
manding in-chief, when the distribution of these officers has not been
regulated by the War Department. The necessary staff will be assign-
ed to commanders of brigades.
470. When an Engineer or other officer is charged with directing an
expedition or making a reconnoisance, without having command of the
escort, the commander of th.* escort shall consult him on all the arrange-
ments necessary to secure the success of the operation.
477. Staff officers, and commanders of engineers, and artillery, re-
P')rt to their immediate commanders the state of the supplies, and what-
ever concerns the service under their direction, and receive their ordera,
and communicate to them those they receive from their superiors in
their own corps.
478. The senior officer of engineers, of artillery, and the departments
of the general staff serving aK the chief headquarters in the field, will
transmit to the bureau'of his department at Richmond, at the close of
the campaign, and such other times as the commander in the field may
approve, a full report of the operations of his department, and what-
ever infurntation to improve its service he may be able to furnish.
The report of the officer of engineers will embrace plans of military
works ex.^cuted during the campaign, and, in case of siege, a journal of
the attack or defence,
CONTRIBUTIONS.
470. Wlien the wants of the army absolutely require it, and in other
case^, under special instructions from the War Department, the general
commanding the army may levy contributions in money or kind on the
enemy's country occupied by the troops. No other commander can levy
such contributions without written authority from the general com-
mandingia chief.
ORDERLIES.
480. At the opening of a campaign, the commander of an army de-
termines and announces in orders the number of orderlies, mounted or
foot, for the Generals, and the corps or regiments by which they are to
be iiupplied, and the periods at which they shall be relieved.
481. In marches, the mou.nted orSerlies follow the Generals, and
52 DEPOTS — QAMPS.
perform the duty of escorts, or march with orderlies on foot at the head
of the division or brigade.
482. The staff oflScer who distributes the orderlies to their posts sends
with them a note of the time and place of departure ; those relieved
receive a like note from the staff officer at headquarters.
- 483. Mounted soldiers are to be employed to carry dispatches only in
special and urgent cases.
484. The precise time when the dispatch is sent off, and the rate at
which it is to be conveyed, are to be written clearly on the covers of all
letters transmitted by a mounted orderly, and the necessary instruo-
tions to him, and the rate of travel going and returning, are to be dis-
tinctly explained to him.*
. * . DEPOTS.
485. The grand depots of an army are establiahed where the military
operations would not expose them to be brcken up. Smaller depots are
organized for the divisions and the several arms. They are command-
ed by officers temporarily disabled for field service, or by other officers
when necessary, and comprise, as much as possible, the hospitals and
depots for convalescents. When conveijiently placed, tliey serve as
points for the halting and assembling of detachments. They receive
the disabled from tlie corps on the march ; and the officers in command
of the depots send with the detachments to the army those at the depots
who have become fit for service,
CAMPS.
486. Camp is the place were troops are established in tents, in huts,
or in bivouac. Cantonments are the inhabited places which troops
occupy for shelter when not put in barracks. The camping-party is a
detachment detailed to prepare. a camp.
487. Reconnoissances should precede the establishment of the camp.
For a camp of troops on the march, it is only necessary to look to the
health and comfort of the troops, the facility of the communications,
the convenience of wood and water, and the-resources in provisions and
forage. The ground for an intrenched camp, or a camp to cover a
country, or one designed to deceive the enemy as to the strength of
the army, must bo selected, and the camp arranged for the object in
view.
488. The camping-party of a regiment consists of the regimental
Quartermaster and Quartermaster.Sergeant, and a Corporal and two
men per company. The General decides whether the regiments camp
separately or together, and whether the police guard shall accompany
the camping-party, or a larger escort shall be sent.
489. Neither baggage nor led horses are permitted to move with the
camping party.
490. When the General can send in advance to prepare tlio camp, he
gives his instructions to the chief of "the Qartermiister's Department,
who calls on the regiment for their camping-parties, and is accompa-
nied, if necessary, by an Engineer to propose the defences and commu-
nications.
491. The vwitering-places are <jsarained, and signals placed at those
cAMi> 01? inpantrV. 53
that are dangerous. Any work required to make them of easier access
13 done by the police guard or Quartermaster's men. Sentinels, to be
relieved by the guards of the regiment when they come up, are placed
by the camping-party over the water if it is scarce, and over the houses
and stores of provisions and forage in the vicinity.
492. If the camping-party does not precede the regiment, the Quar-
termaster attends to these things as soon as the regiment reaches the
camp.
493. On reaching the ground, the infantry form on the color front ;
the cavalry in rear of* its camp'.
494. The Generals establish the troops in camp as rapidly as possible,
particularly after long, f\itiguing marches.
495. The number of men to be furnished for guards, pickets, and
orderlies; the fatigue parties to be sent for supplies; the work to bo
done, and the strengtii of the working parties ; the time and place for
issues ; the hour af marching. Sec, are then announced by the Briga-
dier Generals to the Colonels, and by them to the field officers — the
AcJ^itant and Captains formed in front of the regiment, the First Ser-
geants taking post behind their Captains-. The Adjutant then makes
the details, and the First Sergeants warn the men. The regimental
officer of the day forms thi3 picket, and sends the guards to their posts.
The colors are then planted at the centre of the color line, and the arms
arc stacked on the line ; the fatigue parties to procure supplies^, and the
working parties form in rear of the arms ; the men not on detail pitch
the tents.
49G. If the camp is near the enemy, the picket remains under arms
nntil the return of the fatigue parties, and^ if necessary, is reinforced
by details from each company.
497. In the cavalry, each troop moves a little in rear of the point at.
which its horses are to be secured, and forms in one rank; the men then
dismount; a detail is made to hold the horses ; the rest stack their arms
and fix- the picket ropei aft-er the horses are attended to, the tents are'
pitched, and each horseman places his carbine at the side from the
weather, and hangs his ^;abre and bridle on it.
498. The standard is then carried to the tent of the Colonel.
499. The terms front, flank, right, left, file, and rank, have the same
meaning when applied to camps as to the order of battle.
500. The front of the camp is usually equal to tire front of the troops.
The tents are arranged in ranks and files. The number of ranks varies
with the strength of the companies and the size of the tents.
501. No officer will be allowed to occupy a house, although vacant
and on the ground of his camp, except by permission of the commander
of the brigade, who shall report it to the commander of the division.
502. The staff officer charged, with establishing the camp will desig-
nate the place for the shambles. The offal will be buried.
CAMP OF INFANTRY.
503. Each company has its tents in two files, facing on a street per-
pendicular to the color line. The width of the street depends on the
front of the camp, but should not be less than five paces. The interval
between the ranks of tents is two paces; between the files of tents of
adjacent companies, two paces *, between regimems, twenty-two paces.
54 CAMt OP OAVALBY.
504. The color line is ten paces in front of the front rank of tenti.
The kitchens are twenty paces behind the rear rank of company tents ;
the, non-commissioned staff and sutler, twenty paces in rear of the
kitchen; the company ofecers, twenty paces farther in rear; and the
field and staff, twenty paces in rear of the company officers.
605. The company officers are in rear of their respective companies ;
the Captains on the right,
506. The Colonel and Lieutenant-Colonel are near the centre of the
line of field and staff; the Adjutant, a Major and Surgeon, on the right ;
the Quartermaster, a Major and Assistant Surgeon, en the left., -
507. The police guard is at the centre of the line of the noncommis-
sioned staff, the tents facing to the front, the stj^cks of arjns on the left.
508. The advanced post of the police guard is about 200 paces in
front of the color line, and opposite the centre of the regiment, or on the
best ground ; the prisoners' tent about four paces in rear. In a regi-
ment of the second line, the advanced post of the police guard is 200
paces in rear of the line of its field and staff.
509. The horses of the staff officers and of the baggage train are
twenty-five paces in rear of the tents of the field and staff; the wagons
are parked on the same line, and the men of the train camped near
them.
510. The sinks of the men are 150 paces in front of the color line —
those of the officers 100 paces va rear of the train. Both arc concealed
by bushes. When convenient, the sinks of the men iijay be placed in
the rear or on the flank. A portion of the earth dug out for sinks to be
thrown l»ack occatsjonally.
5il. The front of the camp of a regiment of 1000 men in two ranks
will be 40U paces, or one-fifth less paces than the number of files, if tlie
camp is to have the same front as the troops in order of battle. But
the front may be reduced to 190 paces by narr.»wing the company
streets to five paces ; and if it be desirable to reduce the front still more,
the tents of companies may bo pitched in single file — those of a divibion
facing oD ths same street.
CAMP OF CAVALRT.
512. In the cavalry, each company has one file of tents — th« tents
opening on the street facing the left of the camp.
513. The horses of each compriuy are placed in a single file, facing
the opening of the tents, and are fastened to pickets planted- firmly in
the ground, from three' to six paces from. the tents of the troops.
514. The interval between the file of tents should be such, that, the
regiment being broken into column of companies, each company should
be on the extension of the line on which the horses are to be picketed.
515. The streets separating the squadrons are wider than th^se^^
between the companies by the interval separating squadrons inline;
these intervals are kept free from any obstruction throughout the
camp.
516. The horses of the rear rank are placed on the left of those of
their file leaders.
517. The horses of the Lieutenants are placed on the right of their
platoons ; those of the Captains on the right of the company.

their company ; the tents of the Captains 30 pa<}es in rear of the Lieu-
tenants.
522. The Colonel's tent 30 paces in the rear of the Captains', near
the centre of the regiment ; the Lieutenant-Colonel on his right ; the
Adjutant on his left ; the Majors on the game line, opposite the second
company on the right and left ; .th* Surgeon on the left of the Adjutant.
5'J3. The fiel'i and sta^" have their horses on the left of their tents,
on th'e same line with the company horses; sick horses are placed in
one line on the right or left of the camp. The men who attend them
. have a separate file of tejits ; the forges ami Wagons in rear of this file.
The horsps of the train and of camp followers are in one or more files
extending to the rear, behind the right or left pquadron. The advanced
post of the police guard is 200 paces in front, opposite the centre of the
regiment ; the horses in one or two files.
024. The sinks for the men are 150 paces in front — those for oflBcers,
100 paces in tho rear of the camp.
CAMP OF ARTILLERF.
525. The artillery is encamped near the troops to which it ia attached,
so as to be protected from attack, and to contribute to the defence of
the camp. Sentinels fur the park are furnished by the artillery, and,
when necessary, by the other troopis. .
526. For a liattery of six pieces, the tents are in three files — one for
each section ; distance between the ranks of tents, 15 paces; tents
opening to the front. The horses of each section are picketed in one
file, 10 paces to the left of the file of tents. In the horse artillery, or if
the number of horses makes it necessary, the horses are in two files, on
the right and left of the file of tents. The kitchens {ye 25 paces in
front of the front rank of tents. The tents of the officers are in the
outside files of company tents, 25 paces in the rear of the rear rank —
the Captain on the right, the Lieutenants on the left. •
527. The park is. opposite the centre of the camp, 40 paces in rear of
the oflScers' tents. The carriages in files four paces apart ; distance
between ranks of carriages sufficient for the horses when harnessed to
them ; the park guar^ is 25 paces in rear of the park. Tl>e sinks for
the men 150 paces in front; for the officers 100 paces in the rear. The
harness is in the tents of the men. "
BIVOUACS.
528. A regiment of cavalry being in order of battle, in rear of tho^
ground to be occupied, the Colonel breaks it by platoons to the right.
The horses of each platoon are placed in a single row, and fastened as
prescribed for camps ; near tho enemy, they remain saddled all night,
with slackened girths. The arms are at first stacked in rear of e.ach
row of horses, the sabres, wiih the bridles hung on them, are placed
against the stacks.
56 CANTONMENTS.
529. The forage is placed. on th« right of each row of horse?. Two
stable-guards for each platoon watch the horses.
530. A fire for each platoon is made near the color line, 20 paces to
the left of the row of. horses. A shelter is made for the men around
the fire, if possible, and each man then stands his arms and bridle
against the shelter.
531. The fires and shelter for the officers are placed in rear of the
line of those for the men.
532. The intervals between ^the squadrons must be without obstruc-
tion throughout the whole depth of the bivouac.
533. The interval between the shelters siiould be such that the pla-
toons can take up a line of battle freely to the front or rear.
534. The distance from the enemy decides the manner in which the
horses are to be fed and led to w^ater. When it is permitted to unsad-
dle, the saddles are placed in the rear of the horses.
535. In infantry, the fires are made in rear of the color line, on the
ground that would be occitpied by the tents in camp. The companies
are placed around them, and, if possible, construct shelters. When
liable to surprise, the infantry should stand to arms at daybreak, and
the cavalry mount until the return of the reconnoiteripig parties. If
the arms are to be taken apart to clean, it must be done by detach-
ments, successively.
CANTONMENTS.
536. The cavalry should be placed under shelter whenever the dis-
tance from the enemy, and from the ground where the troops are to
form for battle, permit it. Taverns and farm house?, with large stables
and free access, are selected for quartering them.
537. The Colonel indicates the place of assembling in case of alarm.
It should generally be outside the cantonment ; the egress from it should
be free, the retreat upon the ot>lier positions secure, and roads leading
to it on the side of the enemy obstructed.
538. The necessary orders .beijng given, as in establishing a camp, tlie
picket and grand guards are posted. A sentinel may be placed on a
steeple or high house, and then the troops are marched to the quarters.
The men sleep in the stables, if it is thought necessary.
539. The above applies in the main to infantry. Near the enemy,
companies or platoons should be collected, as much as possible, in the
same houses. If companies must be separated, they should be divided
by platoons or squads. All take arms at daybreak.
540. When cavalry and infantry canton together, the latter furnish
the guards by night, and the former by day.
541. Troops cantoned in presence of the enemy, should be covered
by advanced guards and natural or artificial obstacles. Cantonments
.taken during a cessation of hostilities, should be established in rear of
a line of defence, and in front of the point on which the troops would
concentrate to receive an attack. The General commanding-in-chief
assigns the limits of their cantonments to the divisions, the comman-
ders of divisions to brigades, and the commanders of brigades post
their regiments. , The position for each corps in case of attack is care-
fully pointed out by the Generals.
HEADQUARTERS— I6SVES. ' 57
HEADQUARTERS.
542. Generals take post at the centre of their commands, on the main
channels of communication. If troops bivouac in presence of the en-
^my, the Generals bivouac with them.
MILITARY EXERCISES.
543. When troops remain in camp or cantonment many days, the
Colonels require them to be. exercised in the s^fhool of the battalion and
aquadron. Regiments and brigades encamped by division are not uni-
ted for drills without the permission of the Gejieral of division. The
troops must not be exercised at the firings without the authority of the
General Commanding-in-chief. The practice of the drums must never
begin with the "general,", or the "march of the regiment;" nor the
trumpets with the sound " to horse." The hour for practice is always
announced.
ORDERS.
544. In the field, verbal orders and important sealed orders are car-
ried by officers, and, if possible, by staff officers. When orders are
carried by orderlies, .the place and time o\ departure will be marked on
them, and place and time of delivery on the receipt.
DISPATCHES.
545. Dispatches, particularly for distant corps, should be entrusted
only to officers to whom their contents can be confided. In a country
occupied by the enemy, the bearer of dispatches should be accompanied
by at least two of the best mounted men ; should avoid towns and vil-
lages, and the main roads ; rest as little as possible, and only at out-of-
the-way places. Where there is dawger, he should send one of the men
in advance, and be always ready to destroy his dispatches. He should
be adroit in answering questions about the army, and not be intimida-
ted by threats.
WATCHWORDS.
546. The parole and countersign are issued daily from the principal
headquarters of the command. The countersign is given to the senti-
nels and non-commissioned officers of the guards; the parole to the
commissioned officers of guards. The parole is usually the name of a
General ; the countersign of a battle.
547. When the parole and countersign cannot be communicated daily
to a post or detachment which ought to use the same as the main body,
a series of words -mny be sent for some days in advance.
548. If the countersign is lost, or one of the gifard deserts with it,
the commander on the spot will substitute another, and report the case
at once to the proper superior, that immediate notice may be given to
headquarters.
ISSUES.
549. At what time and for what period issues are made, must depend
on circumstances, and be regulated in orders. When an army is not
moving, rations are generally issued for four days at a time. Issues to
the companies of a regiment, and the fatigues to receive them, are su-
68 • , ROSTER. ■ ,
perintended by an officer detailed from the regiment. Issues are made
from one end of the line to the other, beginning on the right and left
alternately. An issue commenced on one regiment will not be inter-
rupted for another entitled to precedence if.it had been in place*.
THE ROSTER, OR DETAILS FOR SERVICE.
650. The duties performed by detail are of three classes. The jirst
class compVises, l^t, grand guards and outposts; 2d, interior guards, as
of magazine, hospital, 4c. ; 3d, orderlies ; 4th, police guards.
The second class comprises, 1st, detachments to protect laborers on
military works, as field works, communications, &c. ; 2d, working par-
ties on such works ; 3d, detachments to protect fatigues.
The third class are all fatigues, without arms, in or out of camp.
In the cavalry, stable guards form a separate roster, and count before
fatigue.
551. The rosters are distinct for each' class., Officers ave named on
them in the order of rank. The details are taken in succession in the
order of the roster, beginning at the head.
552. Lieutenants form one roster, and First and Second Lieutenants
are entered on it alternately^ The senior First Lieutenant is the first
on the roster; the senior Second Lieutenant is the second, &c. - The
Captains form one roster, and are exempt from fatigues, except to su-
perintend issues. A captain commanding a battalion temporarily is
exempt from detail, and duty falling to him passes. Liieutenant-Colo-
nels and Majors are on one roster. They may be detailed for duties
of the first and second classes, when the importance of the guards and
detachments requires it. Their roster is kept at division and brigade
headquarters. ■ In the company, Sergeants, Corporals, and privates
form distinct rosters.
553. Officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers take duties of
the first class in the order stated, viz : the first for the detail, takes the.
grand guards ; the next, the interior guards ; the last, the police guards ;
and the same rule in regard to the details and duties of the second
class. In the details for the tiiird class, the senior officer- takes the
largest party. The party first for detail takes the service out of^camp.
554. When the officer whose tour it is, is not able to take it, or is not
present at the hour of marching, the next after him takes it. When a
guard has passed the chain of sentinels, or an interior guard has reached
its post, the officer whose tour it was cannot then take it. He ta'kes the
tour of the, officer who has taken his. When an offit^er is prevented by
sickness from taking his tour, it passes. These rules apply equally to
non-commissioned officers and soldiers.
555. Duties of the first and second classes are credited on the roster
when the guards or detachments have passed the chain of sentinels, or
-an interior guard has reached its post; fatigue duties when the parties
have passed the chain or begun the duties in camp.
556. Every officer, non-commissioned officer, or soldier on duty of the
first class, or who is of the next detail for such duty, takes, ,when re-
lieved, the duty of the second or third class that has fallen to him du-
ring that time, unless he has marched for detachment of more than
twenty four hours. '
557. Soldiers march with knapsacks on all duties of the first class ;
POLICE GUAM). 69
and with arms and equipments complete on all working parties out of
the camp, unless otherwise ordered. In the cavalry, horses are packed
for all mounted service.
558. In the cavalry, dismounted men, and those whose horses are not
in order, are preferred for the detail for dismounted service. Those
who are mounted are never emplojed on those services, if the number
of the other class are sufficient.
559. Every non commi^-8i()ned officer and soldier in the cavalry de-
tailed for dismounted service must, before he marches, take to the First
Sergeant of the troop, or Sergeant of his squad, his horse equipments
and his valise ready packed. In case of alarm, the First Sergeant sees
that the horses of these men are equipped and led to the rendezvous.
560. These rules in regard to the roster apply also to service in gar-
rison.
POLICE GUARD.
561. In each regiment a police guard is detailed every day, consist-
ing of two Sergeants, three Corporals, two drummers, and men enough
to furnish the required sentinels and patrols. The men are taken from
all the companies, 'from each in proportion to its strength. The guard
is commanded by a Lieutenant, under the supervision of a Captain, as
regimental officer of the day. It furnishes ten sentinels jat the camp ;
one over the «rms of the guard ; one at the Colonel's tent ; three on
the color front — one of them over the colors; three, fifty paces in rear
of the field officers' tents ; and one on each flank, between it and the
next regiment. If it is a flank regiment, one more sentinelis posted on
the outer flank. -
562. An advanced post is detached from the police guard, composed
of a Sergeant, a Corporal, a drummer, and nine men to furnish senti-
nels and the guard over the prisoners. The men are first of the guard
roster from each company. The men of the advanced post must not
leave it under any. pretext. Their meals .ire sent to the post. The ad-
vanced post furnishes three sentinels; two a few paces in front of the
post, opposite the right and left wing of the regiment, posted so as to
see as far as possible to the front, and one over the arms.
563. In the cavalry, dismounted men are employed in preference on
the police guard. The mounted men on guard are sent in succession,
a part at a time, to groom their horses. The advanced post is always
formed of mounted men.
564. In each company, a Corporal has charge of the stable-guard.
His tour begins at retreat, and ends at morning stable-call. The stable-
guard is large enough to relieve the men on post every two hours. They
sleep in their tents, and are called by the Corporal when wanted. At
retreat he closes the streets of the camp wtth cords, or uses other pre-
cautions to prevent the escape ot loose horses.
565. The officer of the day is charged with the order and cleanliness
of the camp ; a fatigue is furnished to him when the number ot pris-
oners is insufficient to clean the camp. He has the calls beaten by the
drummer of the guard.
566. The police guard and the advanced post pay the same honors as
other guards. They take arms when an armed body approaches.
567. The sentinel over the colors has orders not to permit them to
60 I-OLICE GUARD.
be moved, except in presenbe of an escort ; to let no one touch them
but the color-bearer, or the Sergeant of the police guard when he is
accompanied by two armed men.
568. The sentinels. on the color front permit no, soldier to take arms
from the stacks, esc&pt by order of some officer, or a non-commissioned
.officer of the guard. The sentinel *at the Colonel's tent has orders to
warn him, day or night, of any unusual movement in or about the camp.
569. The sentinels on the front, flanks, and rear, see that no soldier
leaves camp with horse or arms, unless conducted by a non-commis-
sioned .officer. They prevent non-commissioned officers and soldiers
from passing out at night, except to go to the sinks, and mark if they*
return. They arrest, at any time, suspicious persons prowling about the
camp; and at ni^ht, every one~who attempts to enter; even the soldiers
of other corps. Arrested persons are sent to the officer of the guard,
who sends them," if necessary, to the officer of the day.
. 570. The sentinels on the front of the advanced post have ordiers to
permit neither non-commissioned officers or soldiers to pass the line,
without reporting at the advanced post ; to warn the advanced post of
the approach of any armed body, and to arrest all suspicious persons.
The Sergeant sends persons so arrested to the officer of the guard, and
warns him of the approach of any armed body:
571. The sentinel over the arms at the advanced post guards the
prisoners and keeps sight of them, and suffers no one to converse with
them without permission. They are only permitted to, go to the sinks
one at a time, and under a sentinel. ' .
572. If any one is to be passed out. of camp at night, the officer of the
guard sends him under escort to the advanced post, and the Sergeant
of the post has him passed over the chain.
573. At retreat, the officer of the guard has the roll of his guard
called, and inspect arms, to see that they are loaded and in order ;.and
visits the advanced post for the same purpose. The Siergeant of the
police guard, accompanied by two armed soldiers, folds the colors and
lays-them on the trestle in the rear of the arms. He sees that the sut-
ler's stores are closed, and the men leave them, and that the kitchen
fires are put out at the appointed hour.
574. The officer of the day satisfies himself frequently during the
night of the vigilance of the police guard and advanced post. He
prescribes patrols and rounds to be made by the officer and non-com-
missioned officers of the guard. The officer of the* guard orders them
when he thinks necessary. He visits the sentinels frequently.
575. At reveille, the police guard takes arms ; the officer of .the guard
inspects it and the advanced post. The Sergeant re-plants the colnrs in
place. At retreat and reveille tbe advanced post takes artfts ; the-
Sergeant makes his report tO the officer of the guard when he visits the
post.
576. When nece'ssary, the camp is covered at night with small out-
posts, forming, a double chain of sentinels. These posfs are under the
orders of the commander of the police guard, and are visited by his pat-
rols and rounds. •
577. The officer of the guard makes his report of his tour of service,
Including the advanced post, and sends it, after the guard is marched
ofi", to the officer of the day.
' POLICE GUARD. 61
578. AVhen the regiment marches, the men of the police guard return
to their companies, except those of the' advanced post. In the cavalry,
at the sound " boot and saddle/' the officer of the' guard sends one-half
the men to saddle and pack ; when the regiment assembles, all the men
join it.
579. When the camping party precedes the regiment, and the new
police guard marches with the camping party, the guard, on reaching'
the camp, forms i-n line thirty paces in front ef the centre of the ground
marked for the regiment. The officer of the guard furnishes the senti-
nels required by the commander of the camping party.
The advanced post takes its station.
580. The advanced post of the old police guard takes charge of the
prisoners on the march, and mjfrches, bayonets fixed, at the centre of
the regiment. On reaching the camp, it turns over the prisoners to the
new advanced post.
581. The detail for the picket is made daily, after the details for duty
of first class, and from the next for detail on the roster of that class.
It is designed to furnisii detachments and guards unexpectedly called
for in the twenty-four hours; it counts as a tour of the first class to
those who have marched on detachment or guard, or who have passed
the night in bivouac.
582» The officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the picket
are at all times dressed and equipped ; the horses are saddled, and
knapsacks and valises ready to be put on.
583. Detachments and guards from the picket are taken from the
head of the picket roll in each company,^ and, if possible, equally from
each company. .The picket of a regiment is composed of a Lieutenant,
two Sergeants, four Corporals, a drummer, and about forty privates.
For a smaller force, the picket is in proportion to the strength of the
detachment.
584. Officers and men of- the picket who march on detachment or
guard before retreat, will be replaced.
■ 585. The picket is assembled by the Adjutant at guard-mounting ; it
is posted twelve paces in the rear of the guard, and is inspected by its
own commander. When the guard has marched in review, the com-
mandant of the picket marches it to the left of the police guard, where
it stacks its arms, and is dismissed; the arms are under charge of the
sentinel of the police guard.
586. The picket is only assembled by the orders of the Colonel or of-
ficer of the day. It forms on the left of the police guard.
587. The officer of the day requires the roll of the picket to be called
frequently during the day ; the call is sounded from the police guard.
At roll-calls and inspections,- infantry picjtets assemble with knapsacks
on ; cavalry on foot. The picket is assembled at retreat ; the officer
has the roll called, and inspects the arms. The pickets sleep in their
tents, but without undressing.
588. The picket does not assemble at night except in cases of alarm,
or when the whole or a part is to march ; then the officer of the day
calls the officers, the latter the non-commissioned officers, and these
the men, for which purpose each ascertains the tents of those he is to
^ call ; they are assembled without beat of drum or other noise. At
night, cavalry pickets^assemble mounted.
62, . «RAND GUARDS.
589. Pickets rejoin their companies whenever the regiment -is under
arms for review, drill, march, or battle.
GRAND GUARDS AND OTHER OUTPOSTS.
590. Grand guards are the advanced posts of a camp or cantonment,
and should cover the approaches to it. Their number, strength and
position are regulated Idj the commanders of brigades ; in detached
corps, by the commanding oflScer. When it can be, the grand guards
of cavalry and inlantry are combined, the cavalry furnishing the ad-
vanced sentinels. When the cavalry is vs^eak, the grand guards are in-
fantry, but furnished with a few cavalry soldiers,- to get and carry in-
telligence of the enemy.
591. The strength of a grand guard ©f a brigade will depend on its
object and the strength of the regiments, the nature of the country, the
position of the enemy, and the disposition of the inhabitants. It is
usually commanded by a Captain.
592. Under the supervisions of the Generals of Division and Brigade,
the grand guards are specially under the direcffon of a field officer of
the day in each brigade. In case of necessity. Captains may be added
to the roster of Lieutenant-Colonefs and Majors for this detail.
593. Staff officers sent from division headquarters to inspect the posts
of graiid guards, give them orders only in urgent cases, and in ^e ab-
sence of the field officer of the day of the brigade.
594. Grand guards usually mount at the t^ame time as the other
guards, but may* mount before daybreak if the General of Brigade
thinks it necessary to double the outposts at that time. In this case
they assemble and march without noise, and during their marcli throw,
out scouts ; this precaution should always be taken in the first posting
of a grand guard. The doubling of guards weakens the corps and
fatigues the men, and should seldom be resorted to, and never when
preparing to march or fight,
595. A grand guard is conducted to its post, in the first instance, by
the field officer of the day, guided by a staff officer who accompanied
the General in his reconnoissanjje. After the post has been established,
the commander sends to the field officer of the day, when necessary, a
soldier of the guard to guide the relieving guard to the post. He silso
sends to him in the evening a. Corporal or trusty man of the guard for
the note containing the parole and countersign, and sends them before
dark to the detached posts. He will not suffer his guard to be relieved
except by a guard of the brigade, or by special orders.
596. If there is no pass to be observed or defended, the grand guards
are placed near the centre of the ground they are to observe, on shel-
tered, and, if possible, high ground, the better to conceal their strength
and observe the enemy ; they ought not to be placed near the edge of a
wood. When, during the day, they are placed very near or in sight of
the enemy, they fall back at night on posts selected farther to the rear.
597. In broken or in mountainous countries, and particularly if the
inhabitants are ill-disposed, intermediate posts must be established
when it is necessary to post the grand guard distant from the camp.
598. Grand guards are chiefly to watch the enemy in front; their
flanks are protected by each other, and the camps must furnish posts to
protect their rear and eecure their retreat.
«RAN1) 0 LARDS. , ()S
599. Grand guards are fieldcm intrenclied, and never without the
orders if the General, except by a barricade or ditch, when exposed in
a plain to attacks of cavalry.
600. The General of Division, if he think|^ proper, changes the sta-
tions and orders of these guards, and establishes posts to connect the
briija'des or protect the exteriur flanks.
601. After a grand guard is posted, the first care of the commander
and of the field ofiBcer of the day, is to get news of the enemy; then to
reconnoitre his position, and the roads, bridges, fords, and defiles:
This reconnoisancc determines the for\>e and position of the small posts
and their sentinels day and night. These posts, according to their im-
portance, are commanded by ofiicers or non-commissioned ofBcers ; the
cavalry posts may be relieved every four or eight hours.
602. The commander of a grand guard receives detaile 1 instructions
from the General and field ofiicer of the day of the bpigrade, and in-
structs the commanders of the small posts as to their duties and the ar-
rangements for the defence or retreat. The commanders" of grand
guards may, in urgent cases, change the pcsitiohs of the small posts.
If the small posts are to change their positions at night, they wait until
the grand guard have got into position^ and darkness hides their move-
ments from the enemy ; then march silently and rapidly under the
charge of an officer.
603. In detached corps, small posts of pieked men are s^i night sent
forward on the roads by which the enemy may attack or turn the posi-
tion. They watch the forks of the roads, keep silence, conceal them-
selves, light no fires, and often change place. They announce the ap-
proach of the enemy by signals ajireed upon, and retreat by routes ex-
amined during the day, to places selected, and rejoin the guard at day-
break.
604. Grand guards have special orders in each case, and the follow-
ing in all cases : to inform the nearest posts and the field officer of the
day, or the General of Bri;i;ade, of the n^arch and movements of the
enemy, and of the attacks they receive or fear; to examine every pcr-
8on»passing near the post, particularly those coming from without; to
arrest suspicious persons, and all soldiers and camp-followers who try
to pass out without permission, and to send to the General, unless other-
wise directed, all country people who come in.
605. All oqt guards stand to arms at night on the approach of pat-
rols, rounds, or other parties; the sentinel over the arms has orders to
call them out.
606. Advanced posts "will not take arms for inspection or ceremony
"V^'hen it would expose them to the view of the enemy.
607. Grand guards are often charged with the care and working of
teleujraphic signals.
608. The sefttinels and videttes are placred on points from which they
can see f>irthest, taking care not to break thoir connection with each
other or with -their posts. They are concealed from the enemy as much
as p.)ssit)ie by walls, or trees, or elevated ground. It is generally even
of more advantage not to be seen than to see far. They should not be
placed near covers, where the enemy may capture them.
60D. A sentinel should always be ready to fire, videttes carry their
pistols or carbines in their hands. A sentinel must be sure of the
64 GRAND GUARDS.
presence of an enemy before he fires ; once satisfied of that, he must
fire, though all defence on his part be useless, as the safety of the post
may depend on it. Sentinels fire on all persons deserting to the enemy.
610. If the post must be where a sentinel on it can not communicate
with the guard, a corporal and three men are detached for it, or the
sentinels are doubled, that one may > communicate with the guard.
During the day the communication may be^ made by signals, such as
raising a cap or handkerchief. At night sentinels are placed on low
ground, the better to see objects against the sky.
Gil. To lessen the duty of rounds, and keep more men on the alert
at night, sentinels are relieved every hour. To prevent sentinels from
being surprised, it is sometimes well to precede the countersign by sig-
nals, such as striking the musket with the hand, striking the hands to-
gether, &c.
612. On the opproach of any one at night, the sentinel orders —
*' Halt!" If the order is not obeyed after once repeated, he fires. If
obeyed, he calls — " Who goes there?" If answered — ^^ Eoimds" or
" Patrol^" he says — ^^ Advance with the countersign." If more than one
advance at the same time, or the person who advances fails to give the.
countersign or signal agreed on, the sentinel fires, and falls back on hia
guard. The sentinel over the arms, as soon 'as his hail is 'answered,
turns out the guard, and the corporal goes to reconnoitre. When it, is
desirable to hide the position of the sentinel' from the enemy, the hail
is replaced by signals ; the sentinel gives the signal, and those approach-
ing the counter signal.
613. With raw troops, or when the light troops of the enemy are nu-
merous or active, and when the country is broken or wooded, the night
stormy or davk, sentinels should be doubled. In this case, w^hile one
watches, the other, called a flying sentinel, moves abflut, examining the
paths and hollows.
614. The commandants of grand guards visit the sentinels often ;
change theii* positions when necessary ; make them repeat their orders ;
teach them under what circumstances and at what signals to retire, and
particularly not to fall back directly on their guard if pursued, bu^ to
lead the enemy in a circuit.
615. At night, half the men of the grand. guard ofi" post watch under
arms, while tlie rest lie down, arms by -their side. The horses are al-
ways bridled ; the horsemen hold the reins, and must not sleep.
616. When a grand guard of cavalry is so placed as not to be liable
to a sudden attack from the enemy, the General may permit the horses
to be fed during the night, unbridling for this purpose a few at a time
— the horsemen being vigilant to prevent them from escaping.
617. An hour before break of day, infantry grand guards stand to
arms, anxi cavalry mount. At the advanced posts, some of the infantry
'are all night under arms, some of the cavalry on horseback.
618. The commander of a grand guard regulates the numbers, the
hours, and the march of patrols and rounds, according to the strength
'of his troop and the necessity for precaution; and, accompanied by
those who are to command the patrols and rounds during the night, he
will reconnoitre all the route they are to follow.
619. Patrojs and rounds march slowly, in silence, and with great
precaution; halt frequently to listen, and examine the ground.. The
GRAND ROUNDS. 66
rounds consist of an officer or non-commissi«ned officer, aiid two or three
men.
620. Toward the break of day the patrols ought to be more frequent,
and sent to greater distances. They examine the hollow-'ways, and
ground likely to conceal an enemy, but with^reat caution, to avoid be-
ing cut off, or engaged in an unequal combat ; if they meet the enemy,
they fire and attempt to stop his march. While the patrols are out the
posts are under arms.
621. Cavalry patrols should examine the country to a greater distance
than infantry, and report to the infantry guard every thing the^' observe.
The morning patrols and scouts do not return until broad daylight;
and when they return, the night .sentinels are vrithdiawn, and the posts
for the day resumed.
622. AYhcn patrols are sent beyond the advanced posts, the posts and
sentinels should be warned.
623. On their return, commanders of patrols report in regard to the
ground and everything they have observed of the movements of the
enemy, or of iiis posts, and the commandant of the grand guard reports
to thg field ofacer of the day.
624. The fires of the grand guards should be hidden by -a wall, or
ditch, or other screen. To deceive the enemy, fires are sometimes mado
on gr<)und not occupied. Fires are not permitted at small posts liable
to surprise.
625. *The horses of cavalry guards are watered or fed by detachments ;
during which the? rest are ready to mount.
626. If a body of troops attempt to enter the camp at night, unless
their arrival has been announced, or the. commander is known to, or is
the "bearer of a written order to the commander of the grand guards,
he stops them, and sends the commander under escort to the field ofiicer
of the day, and warns the post near him.
627. Bearers of flags arc not permitted to pass the outer chain of sen-
tinels ; their fiices are turned from the post of army ; if necessary their
eyes are bandaged; a non commissioned ofiicer stays with them to pre-
vent indiscretion of the sentinels.
628. The commandant of the grand guard receipts for dispatches, and
sends them to the field officer of the day or* General of Brigade, and dis-
misses the bearer; but if he has discovered what ought to be concealed
from the enemy, he is detained as long as necessary.
629. Deserters are disarmeii at the advanced posts, and sent to the
commander of the grand guard, who gets from them all the information
he can concerning his post. If many come at night they are received
cautioushj, a few at a time. They are sent in the morning to the field.
otScer of the day, or to the nearest post or camp, to be conducted to the
General of the brigade. All suspected persons are searched by com-
manders of the posts.
630. When- an enemy advances to an attack, unless he is in too great
force, or the grand guard is );o defend an intrenched post or a defile, it,
will take position, and execute the movements to check the enemy, act-
ing as skirmishers, or fighting in close or open order, as may be best.
The guard joins its corps when in line, or when a sufficient number of
troops have reaqhcd the ground it defends.
6j6 entrenched posts — ^detachments.
ENTRENCHED 'POSTS.
631. Unless the array be acting on the defensive, no post should be
intrenched, except to cover the weak parts of the line, or at points
which the enemy cannot aroid, or in mountain vrarfare, or to the close
of a defile, or to cover winter quarters. ,
632. Posts connected with tl^g^^erations of -an army are intrenched ♦
only by order of the General cliivmanding-inchief or a General of Di-'
vision.
633. Any intrenchmentthat requires artillery, is considered as a post,
and a guard or garrison and commander are assigned to it.
634. The General who-establishes an intrenched post gives to,its com-
mander detailed instructions in regard to its defence, and the circum-
stances under which the defence shuuld cease.
635. The commander reconnoiters his post; distributes the troops;
posts the ofiicers and non-commissioned officers ; forms a reserve ; gives
orders for all contingencies he can fore^ice; supposes an attack, and ar-
ranges his troops for defence, so as to prepare them for an attack, day or
night.
636. *rn dark weather he redoubles his vigilance, and changes the
hours and direction of the rounds and parols. lie permits no flags of
truce, deserters or strangers to enter. If a flag ought to pass his post, .
he bandages his eyes He refuses admittance to a relief *or any other
party until he has carefijUy examined them. In case of an attack, he
does not wait for orders or hold a oouncil. Having defended his post
to the last extremity, or till the purpose of the defence, according to his
instructions, is ant-wcred, he may then spike his guns and rejoin the
army under cover of night, or by cutting his way through the enemy.
DETACHMENTS.
637. When a detachment is to be formed from the diflferent regiments
of a brigade, the Assistant Adjutant-General of the brigade assembles
it, and turns it over to the commander.
638. When a detachment is to be formed from different brigades, tha.
Assistant Adjutant-General in each', forms the contingent of the brigade,
and sends it to th6 place of assembling.
639. Detachments are generally formed by taking battalions, squad-
rons, companies, platoons in turn, according to the roster for such
detail.
640. When the detachment is to consist of men from every co'mpany
or troop, the first on the roster for guard are taken.
641. Officers, non-commissioned ofiicers, and soldiers, whose tour it is
to go on detacjjment, if employed otherwise at the time, are relieved
from the duty they are on, if they can reach the camp in time to march
with the detachment.
642. When detachments meet, the command is regulated while they
serve together as if they formed one detachment. But the senior officers
cannot prevent the commander of any detjlcliment from moving, when ,
he thinks proper, to execute the orders he has received.
643. On the return ol a detHirhment, the coniiuander reports to the
headquarters from which he received his orders.
RECONNOISANCJ^ — PARTISANS AND FLANKKBS. 67
KECONNOISANCES.
644. Near an enemy, daily reconnoisances are made to observe the
ground in front, and to discover whether the advanced guards of the
enemy have been increased or put in motign, or any other, sign of his
preparation for march or action,
645. They are made by small parties of cavalry and infantry, frona
, the brigade, under the direction of the General of I>ivisi'on or the General
of a separate brigade, and to less distance by the pastoral of the grand
guard, and are not repeated at the same hour or by the same route. On
the plain, reconnoisances are made by cavalry ; among mountains, by
infantry, with a few horsemen to carry intelligewce.
646. Reconnuitering parties ob.'^erve the following precautions: to
leave small posts, or sentinels at intervals, to transmit intelligence to
the advanced posts of an army, unless the return is to be by a different
route ; to march vyith cautit>n, to avoid fighting; and see, if possible,
without being seen ; to keep an advanced guard ; to send well mounted
men ahead of the advanced guard ; and on the flank of the party; to
instruct the scouts that no two should enter a defile or mount a hill to-
gether, but to go one at a time, while one' watches to carry the news if
the other is taken.
647. Before daybreak the advanced guard a^id scouts are dxawn
closer ; the party then march slowly and silently, stop frequently to
listen, and keep the horses that neigh in the rear. The party should
enttr no wood, defile, village, or inclosure, until it has been lully ex-
amined by the scouts.
648. Special reconn(»isances are mnde under the instruction of the
General iq command, Ijy such ofiicers and with such force r.s he may
direct.
649. Offensive or forced reconnoisances are to ascertain with certain'^y
points in the enemy's position, or his strength. They are sometimes
preludes to real actions, and sometimes tmly demonstrations. They
drive in his outposts, and ^ometinles engage special corps of his line.
They are only made by order of the General commanding-iu-chief, or
the commander of an isolated corps.
650. In all reports of reconnoisances, the officer making them shall
distinguish expressly what he has seen from the accounts he has not
been able to verify personally.
651. In special and offensive reconnoisances, the report.must be ac»
companied by a field-sketch of the localities, the dispositions and defen-
ces of the enemy.
PARTISANS AND FLANKERS.
652. The operations of partisan corps depend on the nature and
theatre of the war ; they enter into the general plan of operations, and
are conducted under the orders of the General commanding-in-chief.
653. The composition and strength of partisan corps and detachment
of jankers depend on the object, the difficulties, the distance, and the
probable time of the expedition.
654. The purpose of these isolated corps is to reconnoitre at a dis-
tance'on the flanks of tlie army, t ■ protect its operations, to deceive the
enemy, to interrupt his communiciitions, to intercept his couriers and
his oorr.eapondence, to threaten ordestroy his magnzincs, to carry off
68 MARCHES. «
his posts and his convoys, br/at all events, to retard his march by
making him detach largely for their protection.
655. While these corps fatigue the enemy and embarrass hFs opera-
tions, they endeavor to inspire confidence and secure the good will of
the inhabitants, in a friendly country, and to hold them in check in an
enemy's country.
656. They move actively, appear unexpectedly on diiFerent points, in
such a manner as to make it impossible to estimate their force, or to
tell whether they are irregular forces or an advanced guard.
657. These operations require vigilance, secresy, energy, and prompt--
ness. The partisan coinmander must frequently supply -by stratagem
• arid audacity what he wants in numbers.
658. These detachments are sometimes composed of different arms,
but the seryice belongs more particularly to the light cavalry, which
can move to a distance by rapid marches, surprise the enemy, attack
unexpectedly, and retire as jTromptly.
659. Stormy weather, fogs, extreme heat, -and the night above all,
are favorable to the success of ambuscades: when the enemy are care-
less, the break of day is the best time. A partisaji commander should
communicate to his second in command, his secret orders, the direction
and object of the expedition, and the different points of junction with
the army.
660. Guides of the country and spies are often necessary to the parti-
san. They are examined separately, and confronted if their accounts
differ. When there is but one guide, he marches with the advanced
guard, guarded by two men, and bound if necessary. Peddlers and
smugglers are specially suitable for spies.
601. A fit time to attack a conroy is at a halt, or when they begin to
pafk, or when they are watering, passing a wood or a defile; at a bend
of the road, a bridge or steep ascent.
662. The attacking party may be principally cavalry, with some in-
fantry. The first object is to disperse the escort. A part of the de-
tachment attacks the rnain body of the escort, another the wagons, and
a third is in reserve ; skirmishers line the road, and try to cut the
traces, and to seize the front and rear wagons, and turn them across the
road, to prevent the train from advancing or retreating.
663. If the convoy is piyked, the caralry surrounds it, assails the es-
cort, and tries to draw it away fi-ora the train. The infantry then en-
gage the troops remaining at the park, slip under-the wagons, and get
into the park. When the cavalry is alone and the enemy are shaken,
they dismount a portion of the men to supply the want of infantry.
664. If if is- a large convoy, the principal attack is made on the cen-
tre ; the most valuable wagons are also selected and additional horses
are put to them if-the attack is successful- Those that cannot be car-
ried off are burned.
MARCHES.
^ 665. The object of the movement and the nature of the ground deter-
mine the. order of march, the kind of troops in each column, and the
number of columns.
660. The force is divided into as many columns aj3 circumstances per-
mit, without weakening an}' one too ma»h. They ought to preserve
_ MARCHES. (il)
their communications, and bo within supporting distance of each other.
The commander of each column ought to know the strength and direc-
tion of the others.
667. The advance and rear guards are usually light troops ; their
strength and composition depend on the nature of the ground and the
position of the enemy. They" serve to cover the movements of the
army, and to hold the enem}"^ in cheek until the General has time to
make his arrangements.
668. The a^dvance guard is not always at the head of a column ; in a
march to a flank, it takes such positions as cover the movement. Sap-
pers are attached to the advanced gtiard if required.
069. The '^general," sounded one hour before the time of marching, •
is the signal to strike tents, to load the wagons, and pack horses, and
send them to the place of assembling. The fires are then put out, and
care taken to avoid burning straw, &c., or giving to the enemy any
other indication of the movement.
670. The " march'' will be beat in the infantry, and the " advance"
sounded in the cavalry, in succession, as each is to take its place in the
column.
671. When the army should form suddenly to meet the enemy, the
*' long roll" is beat, and " to horse" sounded. The troops form riipidly
in front of their camp.
672. Batteries of artillery an3 their caissons move with the corps to
which they are attached ; the field train and ambulances march at tho
rear of the column ; and the baggage with the rear guard.
673. Cavalry and infantry do not march together, unless the prox-
imity of the enemy makes it necessary.
674. In cavalry marches, when distant from the enemy, each regi-
ment, and, if possible, each squadron^ forms a separate column, in order
to keep up the same gait from front to rear, and to trot, when desirable,
on good ground. In such cases, the cavalry may leave camp later, and
can give more rest to the horses, and more attention to the shoeing and
harness. Horses are not bridled until the time to start.
675. When necessary, tfie orders specify the rations the men are to
carry in their haversacks. The field officers and Captains make inspec-
tions frequently during the march ; at halts they examine the knap-
sacks, valises and haversacks, and throw away all articles not author-
ized. The officers and non-commissioned ofiicers of cavalry companies
atten<i personally to the packs and girths.
676. WJien it can be avoided, troops should not be assembled on high
roads or other places where they interrupt the communication.
677. Generals of Divisions, and commanders of detached corps send a
stafi" officer to the rendezvous in advance, to receive the troops, who,
on arriving, take their place in the order of battle, and form in close
column, unless otherwise ordered. Artillery, or trains halted on the
roads, form in file on one side. ■ \
678. The execution of marching orders must not be delayed. If the
commander is not at the head of his troops when they are to march, the
next in rank puts the column in motion.
679. If possible, each column is preceded by a detachment of sappers,
to remove obstacles to the march, aided, when necessary, b'y infantry,
or tho people of the country. The detachment is divided into two sec-
70 MARCHKS.
ti ons : one stops to remove the first obstacle, the other moves on to tlie
next.
680. In night marches, and at bad places, and at cross-roads, when
necessary, intelligent non-commissioned officers are posted to show the
way, and are relieved by the regiments as they come up.
681. On the march, no one shall fire a gun, or cry " JiaW^ or " marchy'^
without orders.
682. Soldiers are not to stop for water ; the canteens should be filled
before starting. ,
683. It is better to avoid villages; but if the route lies through them,
officers and non-commissioned officers are to Ije vigilant to prevent
straggling- Halts should not take place at villages.
684. Besides the rear guard, the General sometimes takes a detach-
ment from the last regiment, and adds to it non-commissioned officers
from each regiment, to examine villages and all hiding-places on the
route, to bring up stragglers and seize marauders.
685. In night marches, the Sergeant-Major of each regiment remains
at the rear with a drummer, to give notice when darkness or difficulty
stops the march. In cavalry, a trumpet is placed in rear of each
squadron, and the signal repeated to the head of the regiment.
686. The General and field officers frequently stop, of send officers to
the'rear, to see that the troops march^in the prescribed order, and keep,
their distances. To quicken the march, the General warns the Colo-
nels, and may order a signal to be beat. It is repeated in all the regi-
ments. ■ * .
687. In approaching a defile, the Colonels are warned ; they close
their regifnents as they come up ; each regiment passes separately, at an
accelerated pace, and in as close order as possible. The leading regi-
ment having passed, and left room enough fur the whole column in
close order, then halts, and moves again as soon as the last regiment is
through. In the cavalry, each squadron, before quickening the pace to
rejoin the column, takes its original order of march.
688. When the distance from the enemy permits, each regiment,
after closing up in front and rear of the defile, stacks arms.
689: Halts to rest and re-form the trof ps are frequent during the
day, depending on the object and length of thQ march. They Are made
in preference after the passage of defiles.
690- No honors are paid by troops on the march or at halts..
681. The sick march with the wagons.
692. Led horses of officers, and the horses of dismounted men, follow
their regiment. The baggage wagons never march in the column.
When the General orders the field train and ambulances to take place
in tne column, he designates the position they shall take.
695. If two corps meet on the same road, they pass to the right, and
both continue their march, if the road is wide enough ; if it is not, the
first in the order of battle tak^s the road, the other halts.
694. A corps in march must not be cut by anothei*. If two corps
meet at cross roads, that which arrives last halts if the other is in mo-
tion. A corps in rnarch passes a corps at a halt, if it has precedence
in the order of battle, or if the halted corps is not ready to move at
once.
695. A column that halts to let another column pass resumes the
1
BATTLES. 71
march in adv.ince of the train of this column. If a qplumn has to pass
a train, the train must lialt, if necessary, till the column passes. The
column which has precedence must yield it if the commander, on seeing
the orders of the other, finds it for the interest of the service.
BATTLES.
696. Dispositions for battle depend on the number, kind, and quality
of the troops opposed, on the ground, and on the objects of the war;
but the following rules are to be observed generaHy :
697. ^n attacking, the advanced guard endeavors to capture the ene-
my's outposts, or cut them off from the niain body. Having done so,
or driven them in, it occupies, in advancing, all the points that can
cover or facilitate the march cf the army or secure its retreat, such as
bridges, defiles, woods and heights ; it then makes attacks, to occupy
the enemy, without risking too much, and to deceive them as to the
march and projects of the army.
698. When the enemy is hidden by a curtain of advanced troops, the
commandant of the advanced guard sends scouts, under intelligent ofl&-
cers, to the right and left, to ascertain his position and movements. If
ho does not succeed in this way, he tries to unmask the enemy by de-
monstrations ; threatens to cut the advance from the maib body ; makes
false attacks ; partial and impetupus charges in echelon; and if all
fail, he makes a real attack to accomplish the object.
699. Detachments left by the advanced guard to hold points in the
rear, rejoin it when other troops come up. If the army takes a posi-
tion, and the advanced guard is separated from it by defiles or heights,
the communication is secured by troops drawn fronj the main body.
700. At proper distance from the enemy, the troops are formed for
the atftick in several lines ; if only two can be formed, some battalions
in column are placed behind the wings of the second line. The Hnes
may be formed of troops ii\ column or in order of battle, according to
the ground and plan of attack.
701. The advanced guard may be put in the line 'or on the wings, or
other position, to ^d the pursuit or cover the retreat.
702. The reserve* is formed of the best troops of foot and horse, to
complete a victory or make good a retreat. It is placed in the rear of
the Cdpntre, or chief point of attack or defence.
703. The cavalry should be distributed in echelon on the wings and
at the centre, on favorable ground.
704. It should be instructed not to take the gallop until within
charging distance ; never to receive a charge at a halt, but to meet it,
or, if not strong enough, to retire manoeuvring ; and in order to be
ready for the pursuit, and prepared against a reverse, or the attacks of
the reserve, not to engage all its squadrons at once, but to reserve one
third, in column or in echelon, abreast of or in the rear.- of one of the
wings; this arrangement is better than a second line with intervals.
705. In the attack, the artillery is employed to silence th^batteries
that protect the position. In the defence, it is better to direct its fire
on the advancing troops. In either case, as many pieces are united aa
possible, the fire ^f artillery being' formidable in proportion to its con-
centration.
706. In battles and military operations it is bettw to aiiume t-he
72 - BATTLES.
offensive, and pii* the enemy on the defensive; but' to be safe in doing
so requires a larger force than the enemy, or better troops, and favora-
ble ground. When obliged to acton the defensive, the advantage of
- position and of making the attack may sometimes be secured by form-
ing in rear of the ground on which we are to fight, and advancing at
the mt)ment of action. In mountain warf^^re, the assailant has always
the disadvantage ; and even in offensive warfare, in the open field, it
may frequently be very important, when the artillery is well posted,
and any advantage of the ground may be secured, to await the' enemy
and compel him to attack. ■ *' .
707. The attack should be made with a superior force x>n fhe defen-
^ sive point of the eneray*s position, by masking this by false attacks and
demonstrations on other points, and by concealing the troops intended
for it by the ground or by other troops in the front.
708. Besides the arrangements which depend on the supposed plan
of the enemy,' the'wings must be protected by the ground, or supported
by troops in echelon ; if the attack of the enemy is repulsed, the offen-
sive must at once be taken, to inspire the troops, to disconcert the ene-
my, and often to decide the action. In thus taking the offensive, a
close column should be pushed rapidly on the wing .or flank of the en-
emy. The divisions of ^this column form in the line of battle succes-
sively, and each division moves to tlfe front as soon as formed, in order,
■ by a rapid attack in echelon, to prevent the enemy f^m changing front
or bringing up his reserves. In all arrangements, especially in those
for attacks, it is most importaikt to conceal the design until the moment
of execution, and then to execute it with the greatest rapidity. The
night, therefore, is preferred for the movement of troops on the flank
or rear of the enemy, otherwise it is necessary to mask their m^rch by
a grand movement in front, or by taking a wide circuit.
709. In making an attack, the communications to the rear and for re*
treat must be secured, and the General must give beforehand all neces-
sary orders to provide for that event.'
710. When a success is gained, the light troops should pursue the
'enemy promptly and rapidly. The other troops will restore order in
their columns, then advance from position to position, always prepared
for an attack or to support the troops engaged.
711. Before' the action, the Generals indicate, the places where they
"will be ;. if they change position, they give notice of it, or leave a staff
officer to show where they have gone.
712. During the fight the officers and non-commissioned officers keep
the men in the ranks, and enforce obedience, if necessary. Soldiers
must not be permitted to leave the ranks to strip or rob the dead, nor
to assist the wounded, unless by express permission, which is only t©
be given after the action is decided. The- highest interest and duty is
to win the victory, which only can insure proper care of the -wounded.
713. l^efore the action, the Quartermaster of the division makes all
the necessary arrangements for the transportation of the wounded. He
establishes the ambulance depots in the rear, and gives his assistants
the necessary instruction for the service of the ambulance wagons and
other means of removing the wounded.
/ 714. The ambulance depot to which the wounded are carried or di-
rected for immediate treatment, is generally established at the most
BATTXiES — l>RlSONfiRS OP WAR. 73
o->nvenient building nearest -the field of battle. A red flag marks its
place, or the way to it, to the conductors of the ambulances and to the
wounded who can walk.
7 15. The active ambulances follow the troops engaged to succor the
wounded and remove them to the depots ,- for this purpose the conduc-
tors should always have the necessary assistants, that the soldiers may
have no excuse to leave the ranks for that object.
716. The medical director of the division, after consultation with the
Quartermaster-General, distributes the medical officers and hospital
*atteMdant8 at his disposal, to the depots and active ambulances. He
will send officers and attendants when practicable, to the active ambu-
lances, to relieve the wounded who require treatment before being re-
moved from the ground, lie will see that the depots and ambulances
are provided with the necessary apparatUi?, medicines and stores. He
wijl take post and render his professional services at the principal
depots.
717. If the enemy endanger the depot, the Quartermaster takes the
orders of the General ti) remove it or strengthen its guard.
718. The wounded in the depots and the sick are removed as soon as
possible to the hospitals that have been established by the Quartermas-
ter-General of the army on the flanks x)r rear of the army.
719. After an action, the officers on ordnance duty collect the muni-
tions of Wiir left on the field, and make a return of them to the General,
.The Quartermaster's Department collects the rest of the public property,
captured, and makes the returns to headquarters.
720. Written reports for the Genei^al commanding-in-chief are made
by commandants of regiments, batteries, and separate squadrons, and
by all commanders of a higher grade, each in what concerns his owa
command, and to his immediate commander.
721. When ail o83cer or soldier deserves mention for coftduct in ac-
tion, a special report shall be made in his case, and the General com-
nianding-in-chief decides whether to mention him in his report to the
government ajad in his orders. But he shall not be mentioned in the
report until he has been mentioned in the orders to .the army. These
special reports are examined with care by the intermediate command-
ers, to verify the facts, and secure commendation and rewards to the
meritorious only.
722. The report of battles, which must frequently be made before
fcbese special reports of persons are scrutinized, is confined to general
praise or blame, and an account of the operations.
PRISONERS OP WAR.
723. Prisoners of War will be disarmed and sent to the rear, and re-
ported as soon as practicable to the headquarters. The return of pri-
soners from fhe headquarters of the Army to the War Department
will speciTy the number, rank, and corps.
724. The [trivate property of prisoners will be duly respected, and
each shall be treated 'with the regard due to his rank. They are to
obey the necessary orders given them. They receive for subsistence
one ration each, without regard to rank ; and the wounded are to be
treated with the same care as the wounded of the army. Other allow-
7*4 CONVOYS AND THEIR ESCORXfi. '
ftnces to them v:\\\ depend on conventions with the enemy. Prisoner's
horses will he taken for the army.
725. Exehantie'i of prisoners and release of officers on parole depend
en the orders of the General commanding-in-ehief, under the instruG?
lions of government.
COyVOTS AND XnEIR ESCORTS. «
726. The strength and composition of the escort of a convoy depend[|
on the country, the nature anil vjiiue of the convoy, and the dan'gers it
may incur. A larj;e escort is required fur a convoy of powder, that
the defence may not he near the train.
727- Cavalry' is empl<»3ed in escorts chiefly to reconnoitre } the pro^
portion is lager as the country is more open.
728. Pioneers or working parties are attached to convoys to mend
roads, retn(»veohstacle8, and erect defences. The convoys should always
be provided -vNith spare wheels, pyles, axles, &c.
729. TI.e commandant of the escort should receive detailed instruc-
tions in writing. • ■»
730. A>4 far as the defence permits, the commander of the escort
shall refer to the offirer in charge of the convoy for the hours of depar-
ture, I he halts, the parking and order of the train, and the precautions
agjiinst Hccidents.
^731. Officers who accompany the convoy, but do not belong to the es-
cort,'*hali exercise no authority in it except by consent of the comman-
der. If these officers are junior to the commander, he may assign them
to duty if the defence requires it.
732. Large convoys are formed in^o divisions, each with a conductor.
.The distance between the wagons i^ four paces.* A small party of in-
fantry is attach*ed to each division.
733. Generally, munitions of war are at the head of tlie convoy, sub-
sieteuce next, and then other nnlitary stores ; the sutler last. But al-
ways that part of the convoy which is most important to the army shall
be vehere it is most secure from danger.
7Si. The commandant should send out reconnoitering parties, and
never put the convjy in motion until their reports have been received,
lie always forms an advance and rear guard, and keeps the main body
under his immediate order at the most important point, with 84mUl
guards or posts at other points.
735. In an open country the main body marches by the side of the
road, opposite the centre of the envoy; in other cases at the head or
rear of the column, as the one or the other is more exposed.
736. The advance guard precedes the convoy far enough to remove
all obstacles to its advance. It examines the woods, defiles, and villa-
ges, and by mounted men gives information to the commander, and re-
ceives his orders. It reconnoiters places for halts and parks.
737. If the head of the column is threatened, the advanced guard
seizes the defiles and places which the enemy nright occupy, and holds
them until the main body advances to .the front and relievesit* the
main body holds the positions until the head of the convoy arrives' and
then leaves detachments, which are relieved by the parties marching
with the divisions; the posts are not abandoned until the whole convoy
has paesed and the position is no linger important.
CONVOYS A.ND THEIR ESCOSTS. 75
738. Whoa the rear is threatenoi, like measures are taken ; the rear
guard defends the grounds iind retards the enemy by breaking the
bridgfis jiiid bK)ckin^ the road.
76'J. If the flunks are threatened, and the ground is broken, and
many dedles are to be passed, the defence of the convoy Ijecunies more
^iijcult; the advance and rear guards must be reduced, the flanks
Btrengih&ncd, and positions which will cover the. march of the convoy
must"ba occupied by the main body of the troops before the head of the
convoy readies them, and until it has passed. ^
7 it). If the convjy is hirge and has to pass places that the force and
position of the enemy make dangerous, the loss of the whole convoy
must not bo risked; it must pass by divisions, which reunite after the
passage. In this case the greater part of the troops guard the first di-
vision"; they seize the important points, an<i cover them with light
troops,' or, i*f necessary, with small poits, and hold them until all the
divisions have passed. * i c » i.
741. If there is artillery in the convoy, the commander of the escort
uses it for the-dofence.
742. To move faster and make the defence easier, the wagons niove
in double fiie whenever the road allows it. If a wagon breaks, itis at
once removed from the road ; when repaired, it takes the rear ; when it
cannot bs repaired, its load and horses are distributed to some of the
other wagons kept in the rear for that purpose. . _ -r^ i ^
743. Convoys bv water are escorted on the same principles. Each
boat has a small infantry guard ; one portion of the escort precedes or
follows the convoy in boats. The cavalry march opposite the coi:voy;
the advance and^-ear guard move by land, and all are connected by
flankers witli the convoy. Where a river runs throu2;h a narrow valley,
the b^dy of the infantry moves by land to prevent the enemy from oc-
cupying the heights and disturbing the convoy.
744. Convoys halt every hour to let the horses take breath and the
wagous close up. Long halts are made but* seldom, and i)nly in places
that have been reconnoiterod and found favorable for defence. At night
the park is arranged for defence, and in preference at a distar.ce Irom
inhabited places, if in an enemy's country.
745. The wagons are usually parked in ranks, axlo against axle, the
poles in the s.lme direction, and with sufficient space between the ranks
for the horses. If an attack is feared, they are parked in square, the
bind wheels outside,and the horses inside.
74G. On the appTjarance <*if the enemy during tlie march, the com-
mander closes up the wagons and continues his march in order; he
avoids fighting ; but if the enemy seizes a positi(m that commands his
road, he'attacks vigorously with the mass of his force, but is not to con-
tinue the pursuit far from the convoy. The convoy halts, and resumes
the march when the position is carried. j , "
747 When the enemy iS too stt-ong to be attacked, the convoy is
parked in square if there is room,; if not closed up in double tile; at
the frotit and roar tJie road is blocked by wagons across it. 1 he drivers
are disnv)untcd at the heads of the horses. They are not permitted to
make their escape. The light troops keep the enemy at a distance as
long as possible, and are supported when necessary, but prudently, as
thelroops must bo kept in hand to resist the main attack,
76 BAG GAGE TRAfNif.
748. If a wagon takea fire in the park, remove it if possible; if not,
remove first the ammunition .wagons, then those*to leewnrrl of the fire.
749. When a wliole convoy ctui nijt be saved, the taost valaable pari
may sometimes Ue by abandoning the rest. If all efforts fail, and there
is no hope of 'succur, the convoy must be set on fire .and the horses
killed that cannot be saved ; the escort may then cut its way through. <
750. If the convoy is of prisoners of war, every effort ^hoald be mad®
to reach a village or strong building where they may be confined ; if
forced to fio;ht in the field, the prisoners must be secured and made to lie-
•down until the action is over,
fiAGGAqfi TRAINS.
751. The baggage train of general Jieadquarters and the trains of the
eeveral divisions are each under the charge of an officer of the Quarter-
master's Department. These oiRcers command aiid conduct the trains
cnder the onlers they receive from their respective headquarters. When
the trains of different divisions march together, or the train of a division
marches with the train of general headquarters, the senior Quartermas-
ter directs the vfhole.
752. The regimental Quartermaster has charge of the wagons, horses,
equipments, and all means of transport employed in the service of the
regiment. Under the orders o^ the Colonel, he assembles them for the
march, and maintains the order and police of the train in'park on the
march. On marches, the regimental trains are under the orders of the
Quartermaster of the division. When the march is by brigade, the
senior Regimental Quartermaster in the brigade, or the Quartermaster
of the brigade has the direction of the whole. The necesaary wagon-
masters, ov non-commissioaed officers to act as such, are employed with
the several trains.
753. None but the authorized wagons are allowed to march with the
train. The wagons of the several headquarters, the regimental wagons,
and the wagons oi sutlers authorized by orders from headquarters to
march with the train, are all to be conspicuously marked.
754. When the train of headquarters is to have a guard, the strength
of the guard is regulated by the General. Generals of Brigade guard
their trains by the men attached to the train of the first regiment of
their brigades. The regiuiental trains are loaded, unloaded, and guard-
ed, as far as practicable, by convalescents and men not effective in the'
ranks; in the cavalry, by dismounted men.. When the guard of a train
is tlje escort for its defence, the regulations in regard to convoys and
escorts take effect.
755. Habitually each division is followed by its train, tlie regimental
trains, uniting at tRe brigade rendezvous. When otherwise, the order
for the movement of the divisions, brigades, and regiments contains the
necessary directions in regard to the .assembling and marching of the
respective trains. The S'everal trains march in an order analogous to
the rank of the generals, and the order of battle of the troops to which
they belong. Trains are not alloM'ed in any case to be in the midst of
the troop«, or to impede the march of the trooyis.
756. The wagon-masters, under the orders of the officers of the Quar-
termaster's Department, exercise the necessary restraints over, the
teamstera and servants who leave their teams, or do not properly con-

duct them ; cr who ill-treat their horses, or who attempt.to pillage,, or
run away in case of attack.
757. The General commanding th^ army and the Generals of Division
will not perniit any general or staff officer, o; regiment under their or-
ders, or any person whatsoevel', attached to their command, to have
more than the iiuthcn-ized amount or means of transportation. For this
purpose they will themselves make, and cause to be made, frequent le-
views and inspections of the trains. They will see that no trooper is
'employed to lead a private horse, no soldier to drive a private vehiele,
and that no trooper is put on foot to lend his horse to an officer. They
will not permit the wagons of the ^artillery or of the train to be loaded
with anything foreign to their proper service, nor any publi(j horse, for
any occasion, to be harnessed to a private carriage.
758. The officers of the Quartermaster's Department, the wagon mas-
ters, and all conductors of trains, are charged with watching that the
regulations respecting transportation allowancea are strictly observed.
GENERAL POLICE.
759. When necessaiy, the General-in-chief or General of Division
may appoint a provost marshal to take charge of prisoners, with asuit-
abi« guard, or other police force.
760. Private servants, not soldiers, will not be allowed to wear the
uniform of any cor^s of the army ; but each will be required to carry
with him a certiticati^ from the officer who eniploys-him, verified, for
regimental officers, by the signature of the Colonel; for other officers
under the rank of Colonel, by the chief of their' corps or department.
7G1. Laundresses permitted to follow the army will be furnished with
.certificates, signed as in the preceding paragraph, ^nd no woman of bad
character will be allowed to follow the army. Other persons with the
army, not officers or soldiers, such as guides of the country, interpre-
ters, &c,, will carry about them similar certificates from the head quar-
ters that employs them.
762. Deserters from the enemy, after being examined, will be so-
cured for some days, as they may be spies in disguise ; as opportunities
offer, they will be sent to the rear ; after which, if they are found lurk-
ing about the army, or attempting to return to the enemy, they will be
treated witir- severity. ^ .
763. The arms and accoutrements of deserters will be turned over to
the Ordnance Department, and their horses to corps in want of them,
after being branded wibli the letters " C, S." The compensation to be
accorded to deserters, for such objects, will be according to appraisem^t,
niivd»* under the direction of the Quartermaster's Department. The en-
listment of deserters, without express permission from General head-
quarters, is prohibited.
764. It is forbidden to purchase horses without ascertaining the right
of the party to sell. Stolen horses are to be restored.- Estrays, in the
enemy's country, when the owner is not discovered, are taken for the
armv. *

awards against offences of this nature.
SAFEGUARDS.
766. Safeguards are protections granted to pereons or property m
foreign parts by the conimandirg genera-l, or by other commanders
within^the limits of their command.
107. Safeguards are usually given to protect hospitals, public eetab-
lishmentp, establishments of leligion, charity, or instruction, museums,
depopit(uies of the arts, mills, pest cflBces, aiid other institutions oi pub-
lic benefit ; also to individuals "whom it may be the interest of the arniy
to respect.
7G8. A safeguard "may consist of one or more men of fidelity and
firmness, generally non- effective non-commissioned officers, furnished
with a paper setting out clearly the protection and exemptions it is. in-
tended to secure, signed by the conimander giving it, and his staff of-
ficer ; or it may consist of such paper, delivered to the parly whose per-
son, family, house and property it is designed to protect. These safe-
guards must be nun>l)ered and registered.
709. The men left as safeguards by one corps may be replaced by
another. They are withdravin wben the country is evacuated ; but if
not, they have (>rders to await the arrival of the enemy's troops, and
appjy to the c(jmmander for a safe-conduct to the ontpusts.

SIEGES. * ■ -
771. In the following regulations the besieging force is supposed to
be two divisions of infantry and a brigade of cavalry. The eume prin-.
cipfes govern in other cases.
772. The Brigadier-Generals of infantry serve, in turn, as Generals
of the trenches ; one or more of them are detailed daily, according to
the front and number of attacks ; they superintend tbe operations and
dispose the guards of the trenches to rejulse sorties and protect the
works. Oftcers of the general staff are assigned to them to trnnpmit
their ordtps and attend t) the details of sf rvice.
blJiOEti. 79
773. The Colonels nnd Lieutenj^nt-Colonels of infantry alt^rnnte for
duty in the trenches ; one or more are detailed daily ; they superintend
the* service of the j^uards and workmen in the part of the work to
which the general of the trenches assign them, being posted with troops
of their own regiments in preference. The commandant of the siege
may place the Colonels on the roster with the Brigadier-Generals.
774. The commandant of engineers nnd artillery accompany the
first troops before the .place to examine the works and the approaches.
When the engineers have completed the reconnoisance of the works,
and of each front as far as practicable, the commandant of engineers
makes a plan of the works as exact and detailed as pospible. and under
the instructions t»f the General commanding the siege, draws up the
general plan of the siege, and discusses it with the conimandant of ar-
tillery in regard to the best employment of that arm. These officers
thert submit their joint or separate opinions to the General who decides
on the plan of the siege, and give the orders for the execution. The
commandant of engineers directs the construction of all the works of
the siege, under the authority uf the General, and lays before him every
day a report of his of)er;iti(jns, and a plan showing the progress of the
attack. The commandant of artillery also makes daily reports to the
General of all that relates to his branch of the service.
775. The Quartei uiaster-General establishes tiie hospitals, and or-
gainzea tlie mrans for transportittg the wounded to them.
770. The commanding General appoints a field ofiicer of the trenches,
wlio is aided by one or two Captains or Lieutei%int«.
• 777. The tield officer of the tiencbes is cbaitred with all the details
relative to the assembling of the gir.u'ds and the worknien. He distri-
butes the guards on the different points of the attack agreeably to the
orders of the General of the trenches, and forms the detachment of
workmen for the engineers and artillery '; that he may be pjepared A)r
this distribution, he re -eives every day from the Adjutant General a
statement of the details for the next day.
77!^. On the arrival of the General of the trenches, the field f^fficer of
the trer\ches gives him all the information necessary to enable him to
station the troops, attends him in his visit to the trenches, and takes
his orders on the changes to make in the position of the troops. The
exf»cution is intruste<i to the.commandants of the txoops.
779. Tile field officer of the trenches sees that men and litters are
always ready to bring off the wounded.. One or more companies of the
guard.s of the trenches are put under his immediate orders fur the pre-
servation of order and police in the trenches.
780. Thedivision«, brigades, regiments, and battalions, are encamped^
during the siege in the order of battle. The service of camp is con-
ducted as heretofore prescribed.
7?^l. The infantry has two kind of siege service — the guard of the
trenches and the workOf the trenches.
782. T. e guards, of the trenches mount every day by battalions, in
such order of detail that all the troops may take an e»|ual share, and
n<j part of the line be left too weak. If only one battalion is required,
each division furnishes it alternately ; if two are required, each divi-
iion givo3 one ; if three, one division furniehes two, the other one, al-
80 SiJiOES. ' •
ternately. The two battalions of the same divisions are not taken from
the name brigiide.
783. The detail for work of the trenches is by company, from all the
regiments at one time, or in turn, and continues ^.-enerally twelve hours.
The derail from any regimentif hould never be less than a company. If
•only half a conipany would be needed from all the regiments at a- time,
every other regiment furnishes a full company alternately.
784. The battalions for. guard are detailed at least twelve hours in
advance ; they furnish no other details during this tour. If the whole
regiment is called out, it leaves a sufficient police guard in. camp. "
785. Twentv-four hours, or twelve at least, before mounting guard in
the trenches, the battalions detailed for guard do not furnish workmen;
and the com-panies of these battalions whose tour it.would have been
to work in the trenches do not go there for twenty-four hours after
guard, if possible, or at the least twelve.
786. The workmen who are required for other work than that of the
trenches, are taken from the roster for fatigue from the battalions and
companies not employed in the trenches.
'787. The battalions first fordetail for guard of the trenches, and the
companies first for detail ft)r work in the trenches, furnish no other de-
tails, and are held on picket, ready to march at the call of the field offi-
cer of the trenches.
788. Materials for the siege, such as fjiscines, gabions, hurdles, pick-
ets, &c., are furnished by the difi'erent corps, in the proportion ordered
by the General. •
789. Guards and workmen going to the trenches, march without beat*
of drum or music.
790. At all times, and especially on the day the trenches are opened,
everything is avoided likely to attract the attention of the enemy. With
this view, the Gei^eral may vary the hour of relieving guards.
791. The chiefs of engineers and artillery make requisitions for
workmen in advance, that the details may be made iti time to prevent
any delay in the work. They should exceed the number strictly re-
quired, that there may be a reserve for unforeseen wants. If this re-
serve is found insufficient, the General directs the field officer of the
trenches to call on the picket.
"792. Before the guards and workmen march, the field officer of the
trenches arranges them so that each detachment can reach its ground
without confusion. The troops are posted in the trenches according to
the position of their regiments in the order of battle, and, as far its
possible, the companies of workmen in like order. The reserves of
■workmen are placed at the depot of the trenches, or the nearest suita-
ble place to the works.
795. The workmen leave their knapsacks and swords in camp, and
march with their fire-arms and ..cartridge box,es, which they place near
them while at work. They always carry their overcoats, to cover thera
in resting or wh.en wounded.
794. The guards always enter the trenches with arms irailed, and
the workmen also, unless tt>ey carry materials or tools, when the arms
are in the sling. . .
795. The guards and detachments of workmen send h Corporal to the
BIEGES. 81
openings of the trenches to guide the relief. They march out of the
trenchrs by the flank, with trailed arms.-
796. Stind-baf];s, forming loop-holes, are placed at intervals on the
parapet to prot.vt the sentinels ; they are more numerous than the sen-
tinels, so that the enem^ may not know where the sentinels are placed.
797. When detachments are placed at night in advance of the
trenclici, to cover ihe workmen, the men sit or lie down, wirh their
fire-arms in their hands, to hide themselves better from the enemy;
the sentinels put their ears to trlie ground frequently, that they may
hear troops coniing out of the place. To prevent mistakes, the work-
men are told what troops cover them.
708. No honors are paid in the trenches. When 4;he General com-
manding the siege visits them, the guards place themselves h\ rear of
the banquette, and rest on their arms. The colors are never carried
to the trenches unless the whole regiment marches to repulse a sortie
or make an assault. Even in this case, they are not displayed, until the
General commanding the siege gives a. formal order.
799. The materials of the siege of all kinds, together with tlie tools,
are collected in part at the depots of the trenches, and in part at the
opening of the trenches, or in such other place as has been a]ipointed
for the convenience of the service by the field officers of the trenches, on
the advice of the chiefs of artillery and engineers, Thty are in charge
of ot^cers of ei^gineers and artillery, with guards or non-commigsioned
otticers of both corps. But if these corps cannot furnish them, the
chiefs apply for assistance from th% infantry.
800. The workmen, in going to the trenches, carry such tools and
materials as are required by the artillery and engineers. In this case,
the field officer of the trenches has notice and .-uperintends ft.
801. Th.' soldiers sent to the trenches go with their cartridge-boxes
filled. Cartridges, when needed, are sent to the trenches on the re-
quivsition of commanders of battalions, approved by the General of
the trenches.
802. In the case of a sortie, the guards move rapidly. to the places
that have been designated by the General of the trenches', and which
affi)rds the best deience for the head of the works, the batteries, the com-
munications, or the flanks, or best enable them to take the sortie itself
in flank'or reverse. Having lined the banquette to fire on the enemy,
the troops form on the reverse of the trench to receive him. The work-
men take arms, retain their positions, or retire with their tools, as or-
dered. The officers commanding the detachments of workmen see that
their movements are made promptly and in good order, so as to avoid
all confusioiT in the communications.
803. The troops that advance beyond the trenches to repulse the
sortie, must nut follow in pursuit The General takes care that they
return to*the tienches before the retreat of the sortie allows the artil-
lery of the place to open on them. When the workmen return, the
officers and non-commissioned officers of the detachments call the roll
without interrupting the work, which is immediately resumed.
804. When it is necessary to dismount cavalry and send them to the
trenches, they should be employed as near their camp as possible, and
posted l)etween the detachments of iufautry. t
S2- iX>RTiriKD PLAOfi^;
805. Men belongin,^to the cavalry may, in assaults, be employed in
carrying fiiscines and other ninterials to till ditches and make passages.
.800. The general (iffii;ers of cavalry are more particularly employed
in the service of posts and detactimetit8 placed in' observation to protect
the siege. They and the field officers of tliis arm are employed in the
command .of escorts to ct)nvoys, of whatever arms the escorts may be
composed. When these duties are not sufficient to employ them, they
take their share of the duty of the trenches.
807. The officers of engineers and artillery of the trenches make to
the General of the trenches a return of all losses in their troof)s, and
such other reports on tl)e work as he requires, in addition to the reports
dii'ect to their respective chiefs on the details of the service.
808. At the end of eaeh tour, the fiefd o*cer of the trenches draws
up a report for the twenty-four hours to the General of the trenches.
The General of the trenches reports to the GeneraL commanding the
.^it'ge. * ^
809. The commanders of the several corps in the trenches report,
when relieved, to their respective headquarters the losses during the
tour, and the conduct of the officers ani men.
810. However practicable the breach mny appear, or however ruined
the work in rear of it, the heads of columns must always be supplied
with ladders to get over unexpected obstacles.
811. The General commanding the siege designates picked compa-
nies to protect property and persons, -and prevent pillage and violence,
from the moment the place is carried. The otticers exert themselves to
restrain the men.
812. The General designates the places requiring particular protec-
tion, such as churches, asylums, hospitals, colleges, schools and maga-
zines. The order of the'r protection should remind the soldiers, at the
time, of the penalty of disobeying it.
813. AVhether the place be t .ken by assault or by capitulation, the
provisi(ms and the military stores, and the public funds, are reserved
for the use of the army.
814. The commander of engineers will keep a journal of the siege,
showing the operaticms of each day in detail, the forceemployed on the
work, the kind and quantity of materials used in them, &c. lie will
also mark on a planof the ground the daily progress of the works, and
make the necessary drawings explanatory of their construction.
815. The commander of the artillery will keep a daily journal of the
operations under his direction, showing the number and kind of pieces
in battery, the force employed in servii g them, the kind and quantity
of ammunition expended, the number of rounds tired from each piece
of ordnance, the effect of the fire, and all other particulafrs relative to
his branch of the service.
, 8L6. These journals and drawings will be sent after the-«iege, with
the report of the General, to the War Department.
DE]fENCE OF FORTIFIED PLACES.
817. In war, every commander of a fortified place shall always hold
himself prepared with his plan of defence, as if at any time liable to
attack. He arranges this plan according to the probable .modB of at-
tack.-; determines the posts of the troops in the several parti of the
FORTIFIEB PLAGES. 83
works, the reliefs, the reserves, and the details of service in all the
corps, lie draws up instructions fur a case of attack, and exorcises the
gjirrison acc(»rdiu^ to his plan of defence. In sea-coast works he pro-
vides the instructions for the different batteries on the approach of
ship^.
8 1 A. In framing his plan, he studies the works and the exterior with-
in the radius'of attack and investment, the strength of the garrison, the
artillery, the munitions of war, subsistence and supplies of all kinds,
and takes immediate measures to procure whatever is deficient of troops
or supplies, either by requisition on the Government, or from the means
put at his disposal.
819. On the approach of an enemy, he removes all houses and other
ohjects, within or without the place, that cover the approaches, or in-
terrupt the fire of the guns or the movements of the troops. He as-
sures himself^ personally that all posterns, outlets, or embrasures, &c.j
are in proper state of security.
82(J. He shall be furni.<ihed by the Department of War with a plan'of
tho works, showing all the details of the fortifications, and of the exte-

radius of investment ; with a map of the vicinity, including the neigh-
l oring works, roads, water chahnels, coasts, &c. ; WMth a memoir ex-
plaining the situation and defence of the place, and the relations and
bearings of the several works on each other, and on the approaches by

only to the council of defence.
821. He consults his next in rank, and the senior officer of the engi-
neers an<l of the artillery, either separately, 'or as a council of defence.
In tho latter case, he designates an officer to act as secretary to tho
council, and to record tiieir proceedings and their joint or separate
opinions, which are to be kept secret during the siege. The members

artillery, shall keep journals of the defence, in which shall be entered,
in order of dnte, without blank or interlineation, the orders given or
received, the manner in which they are executed, their results, and
every event and circumstance of importance in the progress of the de-

825. He shall use his means of deferice in such manner as always to
have a reserve of fresh troops", chosen. Trom his best soldiers, to resist
assaults, re-take the outworks, and especially to resist assaults on .the
body of the place ; and a reserve of provisions for the last period of the
siege, and of ammunition for the last attacks.
826. He must; in every case, compel the besieging force to approach
by the slow and successive works of siege, and must- sustain at least
one nssault on a practicable breach in the body of the place.
827. When the commander thinks that the end of the defence has
come, he shall still consult the count^il of defence on the means that
may remain to prolong the siege. But in all cases he alone'will decide
on the time, manner, and terms of the surrender. In the capitulation,
he shall not seek or accept better terms for himself thai? for the garri-'
Bon, but shall share their fate, and exert his best endeavors for the care
of the droops, and especially of the sick and wounded.

TROOPS ON BOARD OP TRANSPORTS.
829. Military commanders charged with the embarkation of troops,
and oJEoers of the Quartermaster's Department intrusted with the se-
lection of the transports, Avill take care that the vessels are entirely sea-
worthy and proper for such service, and suitable arrangements are
made in them for the health and comfort of the troops.
830. If, in the opinion of the officer commanding the troops to be em-
barked, the vessel is not proper or suitably arranged, tlx; oificer charged
with the embarkation shall cause her to be inspected by competent and
experienced persons.
831. Immediately after embarking, the men will be assigned to quar-
ters, equal parties on both sides of the ship, and no man will be al-
lowed to loiter or sleep on the opposite side. As far as practicable, the
men of each company will be assigned to the same part of the vessel,
and the squads, in the same manner, to contiguous berths.
832. Arms will be so placed, if there be no racks, as to be secure from
injury, and enable the men to handle them promptly ; bayonets unfixed
and in scabbard. ^ *
833. Ammunition in cartridge-boxes to be so placed as to be entirely
secure from fire ; reserve ammunition to be reported to the master of
the transport, with request that, he designate a safe place of deposit.

decks or in the cabins, at all times : nor shall any litrhta be allowed be-
tween decks except such (<hip lanterns as the master of the transport
may direct, or those carried by the officer of the day in the execution
of iiis duty. •
837. Regulations will be adopted to enable companies or messes to
cook in turn ; no others than those whose turn it is will be allowed to
loiter round or approach the galleys or other cooking places.
838. The commanding officer will make arrangements, in Concert
teith the master of the vessel, for calling the troops to quarters, so tliat
in case of alnrm, by storm, or lire, or the approach of the enemy, every
man may repair promptly to his station. But he will take care not to
crowd the deck. The troops not wanted at the guns, or to assist the
sailors, and those who cannot be advantageously employed with small
arms, will be formed as a reserve between decks.
839. All the troops will turn out at A. M., without arms or
uniforms, and (in«warm weather) without shoes or stockings; when
every individual will be clean, his hauvls, face and feet washed, and his
hair combed. The same personal inspection will be repeated thirty
minutes before sunset. The cooks alone will be exempted from^owe of
these inspections per day, if necessary.
84(A Roeruirs or awkward men will be exercised in the morning and
evening in the use of arms, an hour each time, when the weather will
permit. «
841. Officers will enforce cleanliness as indispensable to health.
When the weather will permit, bedding will be brought on dei k every
morning for airing. Tul)S may be fixed on the forecastle for bathing,
or the men may be placed in the chaijis and have buckets of water'
thrown over them.
842. Between decks will not be washed ofCener than once a week, and*
only when the weaxher is tine. The boards of the lower berths will be
removed once or twice a week to change the straw. Under the direc-
tion of the Surgeon and the officer of the day, frequent fumigations will
be performed between decks. The materials required are — common
salt, four ounces; powdered oxide of manganese, one ounc^'; sulphuric
acid, one ounce, diluted with two ounce.n of water. The diluted acid ia
poured over the other ingredients in a basin placed in a hot sand bath.
Solutions of chloride of lime and chloride of zinc are excellent disin-
fecting agents. •
843. During voyages in hot weather, the master of the vessel will he
desired to provide wind-sails, which will be kept constantly hung up,
and frequently examined, to see that they diiaw well and are not ob-
structed.
84-!:. During cooking hours, the officers of companies visit the ca-
boose, and see that the messes are well prepared. The coppers and
other cooking utensils are to be regularly and well washed, both before
and after use.
845. The bedding will be replaced in the berths at sunset, Qr at an
earlier hour when there is a prospect-of bad weather ; and at tattoo
every man not on duty will be in his berth. To insure the exe<;ution
of this regulation, the officer of the day, with a lantern, will make' a
tour between decks.

846. Lights will be extinguished nt iattoo, exoe|H puch as are placed
under sentinels. The oft cer nf the dny will see to it. find report to the
commanding officer. Tiie officers* lights will lie extinguished sit 10

time, as in case of sickness or other emergency.
847. For the sake of exercise, the troops will be occasionally called
to quarters hy the bent to arms. Those appoijited to the guns will be
frequently exercised in the use of, tliem. The arms and accoutrements
will be frequently inspected.. The metalic parts of the former will be
often wiped and grea^ed again.
84^. The men will not be allowed to sleep on deck in hot weather or
in the sun ; they will be encouraged and required to take exei;cise on
deck, in squads by succession, wheu necessary. "
849. At morning and evening parades, the Surgpon will examine the
men, to obsetve whether there be any appearance of disease.
850. The sick will, as far as j)ractical)le, be separated from the
healthy men. On the first appearance of malignant contagion, a signal
will be made for the hospital vessel, (if there be one in company,) and
the diseased men removed to her.
851. A good supply of hospital stores and medicires will be taken on
each ve.^sel, and used only for tiie sick and convalescent.
852. The Surgeon will guard the men against costiveness on ap-
proaching a hot climate. In passing through the West Indies to the
Southern coast, for instance, and for some weeks softer l{\nding in those
latitudes, great care is required in the use of fruit, as stiangers would
not be competent to judge of it, and most kinds, after lung voyages, are
prejudicial.
853. In harbor, where there is no danger from sharks, the men may,
bathe; but not more than ten at a time, and attended by a boat.
854. In fitting up a vessel. for the transf'ortation of horses, care is to
be taken that the requisite arrangements aie made for conveniently
feeding and cleaning tiiem, and to secure them from injury in rough
weather by ropes attached to breast-straps and l>reeehing, or by ot.her
suitable means; and especially that proper ventilation is provided by
openings in the upper deck, wind-sails.^&c, The ventilation of steam-
ers may be assisted by using the engine for that purpose.
855. Horses should not be put on board after severe exercise or when
heated. In hoisting them on board, the slings should be made fast to
a hook" at the end of the full, or'the knot tied by an expert seaman, so
that it may be well secured and easily loosened. The horse should be
run up quickly to prevent him foom plunging, and should be steadied
by guide ropes. A halter Is placed on him before he is lifted from the
ground.
856. On board, care is to be taken that the horses are not over- fed ;
*bran should form part of their ration. The face, eyes, and nostrils of
each horse are to be washed at the usual stable hours 5 and occasionally
the nianges should be washed and the nostrils of the horse sponged with
vinesiar and water.
857. In loading vessels with stores for a military expedition, the
cargo of each should be composed of an assortment of such stores as
may be available for service in case of the non-arrival of others, and
they should be placed on board in such a manner that they may be

By order of , commanding r-.
— =^ , Assistant Adjutant-General. •
862. Irf the detail the ^inmbers will be named, and they will take
place in the court, in the order of |^heir rank. A decision of the proper
authority in regard to the rank of the members cannot be reversed by
the court.
86o. The place of holding a court is appointed by the authority con-
vening it. -
864. Application for delay or postponement of trial must, when prac-
ticable, be made to the authority convening the court. ' When made to
the court, it must b« liefore pica, ar>d will then, if in the opinion of the
court wpM foundf^d, be referred to the nuthotity convening the court,

the witness is material, and how ; 2d, thatr the accused has used due
diligence to procure his attendance, and 3d, that he has reasonable
ground ti) believe, and does believe, ttiat he will be able to procure such-
attendance within a reasonable time stated.
866. The Prev^^ident of a court-martial, besides his duties and privi- -
leges as member, is the orjran of the court, to keep order and conduct
its business. He speaks and acts for the court in each case where the
rule has been prescribed by law, regulation, or its own resolution. In
all their (leliberS,tione the law secures the e ,uality of the members.
867- The 76th A,rticle of War does not confer on a court-martial the
power to punish its own members. For disorderly conduct, a member
is liable as in other ofien^ies against military discipline ; improper words
are to *e taken down, and any disorderly conduct of a member reported
to the authority convening the court.
868. The Judge Advocate shall summon the necessary witnesses for
the trial ; but he shall not summon any witness at the expense of the
Confederate States, nor any officer of the army, without the order of the
court, unles-i satisfied that his testimony is material and necessary to
the ends of justice.
869. Every court-martial shall keep a complete and accurate record
of its proceedings, to be authenticated by the signatures of the Presi-
dent and Judge Advocate, who shall also certify, in like manner, the
sentence pronounced by the court in each case. The record must show
that the court was organized as the law requires ; that the court and
Judge Advocate were duly sworn in the presence of the prisoner; that
he was previously asked whether he had objection to any member, and
his answer thereto. A copy of the order appointing the court will be
entered on the record in each case.
870. Whenever the same court-martial tries more prisoners than one,
and they are arraigned on separate and distinct charges, the court is to
be sworn at the commenceiiient of each trial, and the proceedings in
each case will be made up separately.
871. The record shall be clearly and legibly written ; as far as prac-
ticable, without erasures or interlineations, the pages to be numbered,
with a marginof one inch on the Feft side of each page, and at the top
of the odd and bottom of the even pages ; through this last margin the
sheets to be stitched together; the documents accompanying the pro-
(*eedings to be noted and marked in such a manner as to afford an easy
reference.
872. No recommeftdation will be embraced in the body of the sen- ^
tence. Those members only who concur in the recommendation wilf
sign it.
873. The legal punishments for soldiers by sentence of a court-mai*-
ti'al according to the offence, and the jurisdiction of the court, are —
deiith ; corporal punishment by flogging; confinement; confinement on
bread and water diet; solitary confinement; hard labor; ball aijd
chain; forfeiture of pay and allowances; discharges from service; and
reprimands. S )litary confinement, or confinement on bread and water,
shall not exceed fourteen days at a time, with intervals between the
periods of such confinement not less than such periods, and not exceed-
ing eighty-four days in one year.
874. A court-martial canuct assign and make over the pay of' a sol-
COUaTS-MARTlAL — WORKING PABTIES, 89
dior to any other person, and the receipt of such person Tfill not be a
sufficient roucher f()r the disbursing oflBcer. Nor can a soldier be re-
quired to receipt for money paid without his consent to another person.
The law prohibits any receipt or Toucher in accounts of public money,
uuless the full amount of the receipt is paid to the party who signed it.
,875. Tlie jurisdiction and authority of courts-martial are the same
^ith reference to Ordnance Sergeants and Hospital Stewards as in the
cases of other enlisted men. When, however, an Ordnance Sergeant
or Hospital Steward is sentenced by an inferior court to be reduced to
the ranKS, such sentence, thouj^h it may be approved by the reviewing
officer, will not be carried into eifect until the case has been referred
to the Secretary of War for ffnal action. In these cases of reduction,
the application of the man for discharge from servi '.e, though not re-
cognized as a right, will generally be regarded with favor, if his of-
fence has not been of too serious a nature, and eipecially where he has
not been recently promoted from the ranks.
870. The Judge Advocate shall transmit the proceedings, wilhout de-
lay, to the officer having authority to confirm the sentence, who shall
stnte, at the end of the proceedings in each case, his decision and or-
, ders thereon. . •
877. The original proceedings of all general courts-martial, after the
decision on them of the reviewing autliority, and all proceeding* that
require the decision of the President under the 65th and 89th Articles
of War, and copies of all orders confirming or disproving, or remitting
the sentences of courts-martial, and all official communications for ihe
Judge Advocate of the army, will be addressed to " '^ The Adjutant and
Inspector- General of the Army, War Department," marked on the cover,
'■'Judge Advocate J"
878. The proceedings of garrison and regimental courts-martial will
be transmitted without dehiy, by the garrison or regimental comman-
der, to the department headquarters for the supervision of the depart-
ment commander.
879. The 'powor to pardon or m'itigate the punishment ordered by a
court-martial, is vested in the authority confirming the proceedings,
and in the President of the Confederate States. A superior military
commander to the officer confirming the proceedings may suspend the'
execution of the sentence when, in his judgment, it is void upon the
face of the proceedings, or when he sees a fit case for executive clem-
ency. In such cases, the record, with his order prohibiting the execu-
tion, shall be transmitted for the final orders of the President.
880.- When a court-martial or court of enquiry adjourns without day,
the members will return to their respective posts and duties, unless
otherwise ordered.
. 881. When a court adjourns for three days, the Judge Advocate shall
report the fact to the commander of the post or troops, and the mem-
bers belonging to the command will be liable to 'duty during the time.

190 SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT.
ARTICLE' XLII.
SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT.
SUPPLIES.
1097. Subsistence stores for the army, unless in particular and urgent
cases the Secretary of War shall otherwfse direct, shall be procured by
contract, to be made by the Commissary- General on public notice, to be
delivered on inspection in the bulk, and at such places as shall be stipu-
lated ; the inspector to give duplicate inspection certificates (see Form
No. 15), and to be a legal inspector vvhere there is such officer..
1098. Purcbases, to supply such corps and posts as by reason of their
position, the climate, or for other sufficient cause, the Secretary of Wa:r
may specially direct to be supplied in that wny, will be made in open
market, on public notice, from the lowest bidder who produces the pro-
per article,
1099. And whenever a deficiency of subsistence stores makes it neces-
sary to buy them, the commissary, where they are needed, will make a
requisition for that purpose on the proper purchasing commissary, or
buy them himself, of good quality, corresponding with the contract. ,
IIQO. When subsistence is received under contract, the commissary
will receipt for it on the inspection ce»tificat6s (see Form No. 15.) He
will deliver one of these to the contractor, and forward the other to the
Commissary-General, with a report on the quality of the provisions and
the condition of the packages. ^
1101. Whenever subsistence stores are purchased, the advertisements
and bids, and a copy of the bill of purchase, with a statement of the
cause of purchase, will be' forwarded by the purchasing officer to the
Commissary-General. This rule does not apply to the ordin^iry pur-
chase of hospital supplies. Pork, salt beef, and flour must be inspected
before purchase by a legal inspector where there is such officer. Dupli-
cate certificates of inspection (see Form No. 15) will be taken as sub-
vouchers to the vouchers for the payment.
1102. Fresh beef, when it can be procured, shall be furnished as often
as the commanding officer may order, at least twice a week; to be pro-
cured by the commissary, when practicable, tey contract. (For form of
contract and bond, see Forms 27 and 28. When beef is taken on the
hoof, it will be accounted for on the provision return by the number of
cattle and their estimated weight. When the pasture is insufficient,
hay, corn, and other forage will be procured for public cattle.
1103. Good and sufficient store-room for the •subsistence stores will
be procured by the commissary from the Quartermaster. Care shall be
taken to keep the store-rooms dry and ventilated. Packages shall be so
stored as to allow circulation of air among and beneath them. The
flour should occasionally be rolled out into the air.
1104. Before submitting damaged commissary stores to boards of sur-
vey, the commissary shall separate and re-pack sound parts.
1105. Wastage on issues, or from evaporation or leakage, will be as-
certained quarterly, or when it can be most conveniently ; and the ac-
tual wastage thus found will be charged on the monthly return. Loss,
from whatever cause, exceeding oj-dinary waste, must be accounted for
by the certificate of an officer, or other satisfactory evidence. Ordi-
nary waste on issues should not exceed say 10 per cent, on pork, bacon,
SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT* 191
sugar, vinegar, and soap, and 5 per cent, on hard bread, beans, rice,
coffee, and salt.
1106. No wastage is admitted on issues of fresh beef furnished the
company detachment, or regiment, directly from the butcher. But in
beef on the hoof, errors in estimated weight, and losses on cattle stray-
ed or stolen, will be accounted for by the certificate of an officer, or
other satisfactory evidence/ When cattle are transferred, they should
be appraised, and loss in weight reported as wastage by the officer de-
livering them. Fair wastage in transportation of stores is accounted
for by the receiving officer.
THE RATION. -
1107. The ration is three-fourths of a pound of pork or bacon, or one
and a fourth pounds of fresh or salt beef; eighteen ounces of bread or
flour, or twelve ounces of hard bread, or one and a foiirtK pounds of
corn meal ; %nd at the rate, to one hundred rations of eight quarts of
peas or beans, or, in lieu thereof, ten pounds of rice; six poutids coffee;
twelve pounds sugar; four quarts of vinegar; one and a half pounds
of tallow, or one and a fourth pounds adamantine, or one pound sperm
candles : four pounds of soap, and two quarts of salt.
Modification of Ration. — Ilenceforth the Ration will be a pound of
Beef or a half pound of Bacon or Pork ; and the ration of Flour or
Meal will not exceed a pound and a half of either. Commissaries are
again instructed to save all the Tallow they can, to be used in place of
Lard.
1108. The annexed table shows the quantity of each part of the 'i-
tion in any number of rations from one to ten thousand.*
1109. On a campaign, ©r on marches, or on board of transports, the
ration of hard bread ia one pound.
ISSUES.
1110. Returns for issue? to companies, will, when practicable, be con-
solidated ior the post or regiment (see Form 14). At the -end of the
month, the issuing commissary will make duplicate abstracts, of the
issues, whiph the commanding officer will compare with the original
returns, and certify (see Form 2). This abstract is a voucher of the
issue for the monthly return.
1111. Issues to the hospital will be on returns by the medical officer,
for such provisions only as are actually required for the sick and the
attendants. The cost of^such parts of the ration as are issued will be
charged to the hospital at contract or cost prices, and the hospital will
be credited by the whole number of complete rations due throagh the
month at contract or cost prices (see Note 7) ; the balance, constituting
the Hospital Fund, or any portion of it, may be expended by the com-
missary, on the requisition of the medical officer, in the pWfcH«se of any
article for the Bubsistence or comfort of the sick, not atrthorized to be
otherwise furnished (see Form 3). At large depot#or general hospitals,
this fund may be partly expended for the benefit of dependent posts or
detachments, on tequmtions approved by the »«<*icfill4irector or senior
Surgeon of the district. The ttitioi* 5s«a§<! to hospitals, will not here-
after be subject to the reduction authorized April 28rh, 1862, but will
remain as prescribed, by paragraph 1107.
192 SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT.
1112. The articles purchased for the hospital, as well as those issued
from the subsistence store-house, will be included in the Surgeon's cer-
tificates of issues to the hospital, and borne on the monthly return of
provisions received and issued. Vouchers for purchases for the hospital
must either be certified by the Surgeon, or accompanied by his requisi-
tion. ,
1113. Abstracts of the issues to the hospital will be made by the com-
missary certified by the Surgeon, and countersigned by the command-
ing officer (see Form 3).
1114. In order that the authorized women of companies may draw
their rations while temporarily separated from their companies, the of-
ficer commanding the company must make a report to the commanding
officer of the post where the women may be left, designating such as
are to draw rations as attached to his company. Their rations are not
commuted, and they can only draw them at a military pftst or station
where thore are supplies.
1115. When provisions can be spared from the military supplies,
commanding officers have discretion to order issues tp Indians visiting
military posts on the frontiers, or in their respective nations, and to
order sales of subsistence to Indian agents for issues to Indians. The
returns for issues, wher« there is no Indian agent, will be signed by the
commanding afficer. The sales will be for cash, at cost, including all
expenses ; to be entered on the monthly return, and credited on the
quarterly account current.
1116. Issues to volunteers and militia, to sailors^ to marines, to citizens
employed by any of the departments, or to Indians, will be enteied on
separate abstracts to the monthly return. «>
1117. An extra issue of fifteen pounds of .tallow or ten of sperm can-
dles, per month, may be made to, the principal guard of each camp and
garriiion, on the order of the commanding officer. Extra issues of soap,
candUs and vinegar, are permitted to the hospital when the Surgeon
does not atail himself of the commutation of the hospital ^rations, or
when there is no hospital fund; salt in small quantities may be issued
for public horfies and cattle. .When the officers of the Medical Depart;
ment find tnti-ecorbutics necessary for the health of the troops, the com-
manding officer may order issues of fresh vegetables, pickled onions,
sour krout or molasses, with an extra quantity of rice and vinegAr.
(Potatoes are usually issued at the rate of one pound per ration, and
onions at the rate of three bushels in lieu of one of beans.) Occasional
issues (eitra) of molaBses are made — twp quarts to one hundred rations
— and of Ifitd apples, of from one to one and a half bushels to one
hundred nations. Troops at sea are recommended to draw rice and an
extra i.-<sue of wiolasftfes in lieu of beans. When anti-scorbutics are is-
sued, the aie^ieal t>ffiecr will certify the necessity, and the circumstances
which caune it, upon the abstract of extra issu»!S, (see Form 4).
1118. When eien J«atc their company, the rations they have drawn,
and left with it, will be <«dncted from the next return for the company;
a like rule when men 4re discharged from the hotpital will govern the
haspital return. Inatmueh mn the Regulations coacaraiag the issue of
commissary Stores hikft bwfi" fio»at#d by issuing the same to civilians :
Hereafter, all issues of subsistence not warranted by th© Regulations,
are positively prohibited.
SUBSrSTENCB DEPARTMENT. . 193
RECRUITING SERYICE,
» ill9. When subsistence cannot be issued to the ■Commissariat" to re-
cruiting parties, it wjll be procured by the officeHp^eharge, on written
contracts for complete rations^ or wholesome board and lodgipg (see
Form- 26). ' '
1120. The contractor will ^end monthly* or quarterly, as he may .
choose, his account for rations issued, to the Commissary -General for pay-
ment vouched by the abstract oF issues /Form 17) certified by the officer.'
1121. When convenience and economy require that thecontract shall
he for board jwad lodging, tl>e oflRcer in charge shall estimate the cost of
the ration, for which the contractor shall be paid as before directed, and
shall pay the amount duo to lodging from the recruiting fund.
1122. At temporary rendezrcus, advertising may be' dispensed with,
and a contract made conditioned to be terminated at the pleasure of the
officer or the Commissary-General.
1123. The recruiting officer will be required, when convenient, to re-
ceive and disburse the funds for the subsistence of his party, and to
ffender his accounts quarterly to the Commissary-General.
1124. When a contract cannot be made, the recruiting officer may pay
the necessary expenses of subsisting and boarding his party.
1125. The expenses of subsistence at branch rendezvous, and all ex-
penses of advertising for f)roposals, will be paid by the contractor at the
principal station, and included in his accounts,
1126. Issues of provisions will be made &n the usual provision re-
turn*, and board will be furnished on a return showing the number of
the^arty, the days, and dates.
• SUBSISTENCE TO OFFICERS. ' ,
1127. An officer may draw subsistence stores, paying cash for them
at contract or cost prices, without including cost of transportation, on
Km certificate that they are for his own use and the uqp of his family.
These certified lists the commanding officer shall compare with the
monthly abstracts' of sales, which he shall countersign, (see Form 5.)
The commissary will enter the sales on his monthly return, and credit
the money in his quarterly ace oxint current. No subsistence stores will
••be sold to officers' families. When an officer has his family with him,
where he is stationed on duty, he may draw a limited amount of such
stores, on his certificate on honor that the stores are exclusively for
iimself and his family. He must pay cash, or deposit a pay account
with the Commissary, on which he may draw. Under no other circum-
stances whatever will Commissaries be permitted to issue stores to of-
ficers— and then, only such articles as are apart of the ration regularly
issued to soldiers at the time. » •
'BACK RATIONS.
1128. When the supplies warrant it, back rations may be drawn, if
the full rations could not 'have been issued at the time ; except when
soldiers have been sufficiently subsisted in lieu of the ration. The re-
turn for back'i-ations shallset out the facts, and the precise time'when
rations were nOt issued, or the troops otherwise sufficiently subsisted,
which shall appear pn the abstract of issues. • ♦

1145. Duplicate originala of-all contracts on account of subsisi
tence will be sent to the Com missary-Generars" office through the prin-
cipal Commissary of Subsistence of the Military Department in which
the contract is made. The place of residence of each surety to the bond
must be named therein .with particularity. Where the form is pre-
scribed it will be followed; in all cases contracts must be drawh-up
;ind executed to meet the requirements of the law. Every contract,
whether for services or for the furnishing of supplies, which contem-
plates a partial performance, from time tp time, continuing until the
whole duty is performed, or the whole delivery of the enumerated arti-
cles is eifected, must provide in express terms for its earlier termina-
tion, if the Commissary-General shaU so direct.
1146. Estimates for fuads must be rendered in duplicate.
1147. In order to establish an invariable rule for ascertaining the
nett weighl of beef cattle received on the hoof, the following mode is
adopted, r.nd for the future, in nil cases will be observed^:
1. When practicable, cattle presented for acceptance must be weighed
upon the scales. From the iive weight of a steer, thus ascertained, his
nett weight shall be determined by deducting forty five peiJ centum,
when his gross weight exceeds thirteen hundred (1300) pounds, and
fifty per centum when it is less than that and not under eight hundred
<8d0) pounds.
2. When i^ii' impracticable to "v^eigh upon the scales, one or more
average steers must be selected, killed and dressed in the usUal manner.
The average nett weight of these (neck and shanks excluded) will be
accepted as the average nett weight of the herd. In all written instru-
ments for the delivery of cattle on the hoof, the manner prescribed
above, for ascertaining nett weight, must, in express terms, be inserted ;
in verbal agreements, it must bo understood and accepted by the party
delivering the cattle. Vouchers for the payments of cattle will slate
the manner pursued in determining their nett weight, except where
payment has been made on the ccrtificate^of an ofi&cer, in which case
the certificate will state the mode followed.
3. With a view to the* prevention of losses, now so frequently occur-
ring, from overestimating the weight of cattle received on the hoof,
the serious attention of officers and agents serving in this depsA'tment,
is specially called to the exercise of greater care in the discharge of
this important duty.
1148. When fresh beef can be provided, it will be issued tg the troops
five times per week. When the circumstances are favorable, -and it can
be done with advantage to the Government, the Subsistence Department
will keep beef cattle to supply the issues.
1149. The following issues and substitutions maybe made: When,
from excessive fatigue or exposure, the commffnding officer may deem
it necessary, ke may direct the issue of whiskey to the enlisted men of
his command, not to exceed a gill per man for each day. Tea may be
issued in lieu of coffee, at the rate of orte and a half pounds per one
hundred rations. Two "issues" per week of "desiccated vegetables,"
» may be made in lieu of " beans" or " rice." Potatoes and onions, when
issued, will always be in lieu of -rice or beans. Potatoes at the rate of
a pound per ration ; onions at the rate of three pec^s per hundred ra-
tions. A daily ration of fresh vegetables will be furnished to all the

troops "wheifever the same can be proTided at reasonable cost and
charges to the government. Chaplains in the army are allowed the
same rations as privates, to be issued or commuted to them as they may
desire.' If commuted, twenty-five cents -per ration while in the field,
and sixty cents per ration while stationed in a city, may be allowed
them. Four women will be allowed to each conipany as washer-wo-
men, also four cooks, and will receive one ration per day each.

directing, the same. They will likewise report monthly, when oq fur-
lough, to the Medical officer in charge of the hospital to which they
are attached.
. 1222, The jurisdiction and authority of courte-martial are the same
^ith reference to hospital stewards as in the cases of other enlisted
men. When,, however, a hospital steward is sentenced by an inferior
court jfeo -be reduced to the rankH, such sentence, though it may be ap-
proved by the reviewing offitjer, will not be carried into eflPect until th«
ease has been referred to the Secretary of War for final action. In
these cases of reduction, the applicatJfJn of the man for discharge from
service, though not recognised as of right, will generally be regarded with
favor, if his offence has not been of too serious a nature, and especially
when he has not been rpcenfly promoted from the ranks.
. 1223. As the hospital stewards, appointed by, the Secretary of War,
are permanently attached to the Medical Department, their accounts of
pay, clothing, &c., must be kept by the medical officers under .whose
immediate direction they are serving, who are also responsiole for cer-
tified statements of such accounts, and correct descriptive lists of such
stewards, to accompany them in case of transfer ; iis, also, that 'their
final statements and certificfates of discharge are accurately made out,
when they are at length discharged from service..

ordnance stores condemned are ot too little value to cover the expense of
sale or breaking up, he shall recommend them to be dropped from the
return as useless. Such arms and stores as the inspector may consider
repairable he shall direct either to be repaired at the arsenal, depot, or

accoutrements are issued to the men constituting his command, and
that each individual is charged on the muster roll with the actual num-
ber of arms and accoutrements delivered to him ; and the same shall be
entered upon each successive muster roll until the meu shall be dis-
charged.

master that they have deposited their arms and. accoutrements with
some officer authorized to receive them, who shall state in the receipts
the condition of the arms and accoutrements, and the amount of loss
or damage, (if any has accrued whilst the same were in their posses-
sion,) according to the rates established by the Ordnance Bureau, which
amount the paymaster shall deduct from the pay due them at the time
of their discharge.

specting officer, who shall muster and inspect the same for discharge, to
require the affidavit of some officer or non-commissioned officer, testify-
ing to the unavoidable circumstances of the loss, and such affidavit, if
deemed satisfactory, shall be sufficient authority for the inspecting offi-

RECRUITING SERVICE.
ARTICLE XLVI.
RECRUITING SERVICE.
1383. The recruUinp; service will be conducted by the Adjutant and
Inspector General, under the direction of the Secretary of War.
1384. Field officers will be detailed to superintend the recruitinor dis-
tricts, and lieutenants to take charjie of the recruiting partiet^. The re-
cruiting service will form a special roster. The Adjutiint and Inspec-
tor General will detail the fieli officers, and announce in orders the
number of lieutenants to be detailed from each regiment by its C »lonel.
When the detail is not accin-ding to the roster, the speciu I "reason of the
case shall be reported and laid before the Secretary of War. .
1385. A recruiting party will ccmsist generally of one lieutenant, one
noncommissioned officer, two privates, and u drununer and fifer. The
parties will be sent from the principal depots, and none hut suitable
men sel-ected.
1386. Officers on the general recruiting service are not to be ordered
on any other duty, except from the Adjutant General's Office.
DUTIES OF SUPERINTENDENTS.
1387. As soon as a recruiting station is designated, the superinten-
dent sends estimates for funds to, the Adjutant General, and requisitions
on the proper departments (through the Adjutant and Inspector Gene-
ral) for clothing, camp equipage, arms, and ac(;outremeiits.
1388. Subsequent supplies lor the stations in his district are procured
by the superintendent on consolidated estimates ; these are made quar-
terly for funds, and every six or twelve months for clothing, equipage,
arms, and accoutrements. Estimates for funds will be in the follDwing
form : "

RECRUITING SERVICE. ' 385
1389. Funds and'supplies of clothing, camp and g^rison equipage,
arms and accoutrements, when ordered, will be sent direct to each sta-
tion,
1390. The superintendents will transmit to the Adjutant and Inspector
General consolidated moj^thly returns of the recruiting parties under
their superintendence, according to directions on the printed blanks,
accompanied by one copy of tlie enlistment of each recruit, enlisted
within the month. Also a quarterly return of deceased solaiers to the
Adjutant iind Inspector General and Second Auditor.
1391. When recruits should bo sent to regiments, a superintendent
will report to the Adjutant and Inspector General for instructions in
reference thereto. . •
1392. When recruits are sent from a depot or rendezvous to a regi-
ment or post, a muster and descriptive roll, and an account of clothing of
the detachment, will be given to the ofiBcer assigned to the command of
it ; and a duplicate of the muster and descriptive roll will be forwarded
ta the Adjutant and Inspector General by the superintendent, who will
note on it the names of all the officers on duty with the detachment, and
the day of its departure from the depot or rendezvous.
1393. The superintendent will report all commissioned or non-com-
missioned officers who may be incapable ox negligent in the discharge
of their functions. AVhere a recruiting party fails to get recruits from
any cause other than the fault of tiie officer, the superintendent will
recommend another station for the party.
1394. When a rendezvous is closed, the superintendent will give the
necessary instructions' for the safe-keeping or disposal of the public
property, so as not to involve any expense for storage.
1395. Tours of inspection by superintendents will be made only on
instructions from the Adjutant and Inspector General's Office. Officers
on the recruiting service will not, be sent from place to place without
orders from the same source.
DUTIES OF RECRUITING OFFICERS.
1396. Success in obtaining recruits depends much on the activity
and pcrsojial attention of recruiting officers, and they will not entrust
to enlisted men the duties for which themselves only are responsible.
They will in no case absent themselves from their stations without au-
thority from the superintendent.
1397. Recruiting officers will not allow any man to be deceived or in-
veigled into the service by false representations, but will in person ex-
plain the nature of the service, the length of the teru), the pay, cloth-
, ing, rations, and other allo\v;ances to which a soldier ia entitled by law,
to every man before he signs the enlistment. If minors present them-
selves, they are to be treated with great candor ; the names and resi-
dences of their parents or guardians, if they Have any, must be ascer-
tained, and they will bo informed of the minor's wish to enlist, that
they may make their objections or give their consent.
1398. With the sanction of superintendents, recruiting officers may
insert in not exceeding two newspapers, brief notices directing atten-
tion to the rendezvous for further .information.
1399.* Any free white male person above the age of eighteen and un-
der thirty-five years, Ijcing at least Ave feet four and a half inches high,
17

effective, able-bodied, sober, free from disease, of good character and
habits, and able to speak aud understand t^^cZHhe English language,
may be enlisted. This regulation, so ftir as respects the height and age
of the recruit, shall not extend to musicians, or to soldiers who may
*' re-enlist," or have served honestly and failj^ifullj a previous enlist-
ment in the army,
1400. No person under the age of twenty-one years is to be enlisted
without the written consent of his parent, guardian, or master. The
recruiting ofl&cer must be very particular in ascertaining the true age
of the recruit, and will not accept him when there is a doubt of his
being of age.
1401. After th*e nature of the service and terms of enlistment have
been fairly explained to the recruit, the oflBcer, before the enlistments
'are filled up, will read to him, and offer for his signature, the annexed
declaration, to be appended to each copy of his enlistment :
I, , desiring to enlist in the Army of the Confederate States
for the period of five years, do declare that I am^ years and
months of age ; that I have neither wife nor child; that I have never
been discharged from the Confederate States service on account of dis-
ability, or by a sentence of a court martial, or by order before the expi-
ration of a term of enlistment ; and I know of no impediment to my
serving honestly and faithfully as a soldier for five yeuru.
Witness :
1402. If the recruit be a minor, his parent, guirdian, or master must
sio-n a consent to his enlisting, which will be added to the preceding
declaration, in the following form :
I, , do certify that lam the [father, only surviving 'parent ^
legal master, or guardian) of — '—; that the said — — ■ is years of
age ; and I do hereby freely give my consent to his enlisting as a soldier
in the Army of the Confederate States fur the period of five years.
Witness :
1403. Th« forms .of declaration, and of consent in' case of a minor,
having been signed and witnessed, the recruit will then be duly in-
spected by the recruiting officer, and surgeon, if one be present, and
if accepted, the 20th and 87th Articles of War will be rea(^ to him ;
after which he will be allowed time to consider the subject until his
mind appears to be fully made up before the oath is administered to
him.
1404. As soon as practicable, and at least within six days after his
enlistment, the following oath will be administered to the recruit:
♦♦ I, A — B — , do solemnly swear or aflBrm, (as the case may be,) that
I will bear true allegiance to the Confederate States of America, and
that I will serve them honestly and faithfully against all their enemiet

ing officer at tiie time of enlistment, and noted on the descriptive list,

RECRUITING SERVICB. 393
1442. To each depot there will be assigned a suitable number of of-
ficers to command and instmct the recruits; and wheft necessary, such
number of enlisted men as may be designated at the Adjutant and In-
spector General's office, will be selected for the permanent party, to do
garrison duty and for drill masters.
1443. The niyjiber of recruits at depots to be assigned to each arm
and regiment is directed from tlic Adjuiatit and Inspector GeneraPs of-
fice.
1444. The recruits are to be dressed in uniform according to their re-
Bpectfve arms, and will be regularly mustered and inspected. They are
to be well drilled in thQ infantry tactics, through the school of the sol-
dier to that of the battalion, and in the exercise of field and garrison
pieces. Duty is to l)e done according to the strict rules of service.
1445. The general superintendent will cause such of the recruits as
arg found to possess a natural talent for music, to be instructed (besides
the drill of the soldier) on the fife, bugle and drum, and other military
instruments ; and boys of twelve years of age and upward may, under
his direction, be enlisted for this purpose. But as recruits under
eighteen years of age and under size must be discharged, if they are
not capable of learning music, care should be taken to enlist these only
who have a natural talent for music, and, if practicable, they should be
taken on trial for some time before being enlisted.
1446. Regiments will be furnished with field music on the requisi-
ti'ins of their commanders, made, from time to time, direct on the gene-
ral superintendent; and when requested by regimental commanders,
the superintendents will endeavor to have suitable men selected from
the recruits, or enlisted for the regimental bands.
1447. To give encouragement to the recruits, and hold out induce-
ments to good conduct, the commanding oflScer of the depot may pro-
mote such of them to be lance corporals and lance sergeants as exhibit
the requisite qualifications, not exceeding the pi-i^per proportion to the
number of recruits at the depot. These appointments will be an-
nounced in orders in the usual way, and will be continued in force until
they join their regiments, unless sooner revoked. No allowance of pay
or emoluments is to be assigned to these appointments ; they are only
to be considered as recommendations to the captains of companies and
colonels of regiments for the places in which the recruits may have
acted ; but such non-commissioned officers are to be treated with all the
respect and to hare all the authority which may belong to the stations
of sergeant and corporal.
1448. Permanent parties at depots, and recruiting parties, will be
mustered, inspected, and paid in the same manner as other soldiers.
Recruits will be mustered for pay only at depots, and when paid there
one half of their monthly pay will be retained until they join their regi-
ments.
1449. When recruits are received at a garrisoned post, the command-
ing officer will place them. under the charge of a commissioned officer.

ititerfere with their instruction, nor are they to be employed otherwise
than as soldiers, in the regular'duties of garrison and camp.

authority, shall forfeit all pay and allowances due at the time of the
discharge.
1452. The Rules and Articles of* War are to be read to the recruits
every month, after the inspection ; and so much thereof as relates to
the duties of non-commissioned officers and soldiers will be read to
them every week. *'
INSPECTION OF KECRUITS AT DEPOTS. AND POSTS.
1453. The superintendent or commanding officer will cause a minute
and critical inspection to be made of every recruit received at a depot '
two days after his arrival ; and should any recruit be found unfit for
service, or to have been enlisted contrary to law or regulations, he shall
assemble a Board of Inspectors, to examine into the case. A board
may also be assembled in a special case, when a concealed defect may
become manifest in a recruit, at any time during his detention at«the *
depot.
1454. Every detachment ordered from a dJpot to any regiment or
post' shall, immediately preceding its departure, be critically inspected
by the superintendent or commanding officer and surgeon ; and, when
necessary, a Board of Inspectors will be convened.
1455. Recruits received at a military post or station shall be carefully
inspected by the commanding officer and surgeon, on the third day after -
their arrival ; and if, on such inspection, any recruit, in their opinion*,
be unsound or otherwise defective in such degree as to disqualify him
for the duties of a soldier, then a Board of Inspectors will be assem-
bled to examine into and report on the case. (See paragraphs 1438,
1439, 1440.)
1456. Boards for the inspection of recruits will be composed of the
three senior regimental officers present on duty, with the troops, in-
cludrng the commanding officer, and the senior medical officer of the
army present. *
REJECTED RECRUITS.
1457. In all cases of rejection, the reasons therefor will be stated at
large in a special report, to be made by the board ; which, together with
.the surgeon's certificate of disability for service, will be forwarded by
the superintendent or commandant of the post direct to the Adjutant ,
and Inspector General. In all such cases, the commatiding officer will
cause the articles of clothing which may have been issued to the re-
cruit, with the price of each article, to.be endorsed on the certificate of
disability. If the recommendation of the board for the discharge of the
recruit be approved, the authority therefor will be endorsed on the
certificate, which will be sent back to be filled up and signed by the
commanding officer, who will return the same to the Adjutant and In-
spector General's office.
1458. The board will state in the report whether the disability, or
other cause of rejection, existed^ before hj^ enlistment, and whether,
yi\i\i proper care and examination, \i might not have been discovered.
RECRUITS SENT TO REGIMENTS.
1459. An officer entrusted with the command of recruit^ ordered to
RECRUITING SERVICE. 395
regiments will, on arriving at the place of destination, forward the fol-
lowing papers:
1. To the Adjutant and Inspector General and the Superintendent,
each, a descriptive roll and an account of clothing of such men as may
have deserted, died, or been left on the route from any cause whatever,
with date and pUice ; also, a special report of tlie date of his arrival at'
the post, the strength and condition of the detachment when turned
over to tho commanding officer, and all circumstances worthy of remark
which may have occurred on tlie march.
2. To the Commanding Officer of the regiment or post, the muster
and descriptive roll furnished him at the time of setting out, properly
signed and completed by recording the names of the recruits present,
and by noting in the column for remarks, opposite the appropriate
spaces, the time and place of death, desertion, apprehension, or other
casualty that may have occurred on the route.
14G0. Should an officer be reMeved in charge of a detachment en
route, before it reaches its destination, the date and place, and name of
the officer by whom it is, relieved, must be recorded on the detachment
roll. Without the evidence of such record, no charge for extra pay for
clothing accountability of a detachment equal to a company will be al-
lowed.
1461. The "original muster and descriptive roll" of every detach-
ment, with remarks showing the final disposition of each recruit, and
the regiment and letter of the company to which he may be assigned,
will be signed and forwarded to the Adjutant and Inspector General by
the commanding officer who makes the assignment. If the recruits
embraced in one roll happen to be assigned to different posts, the origi-
nal roll is to continue witii the last detachment to its destination, each
commander completing it so far as concerns the recruits left at his post.
When this is not practicable, extracts from the original roll are to be
made by tlie authority which distributes the recruits, to accompany the
several detachments and to be forwarded to the Adjutant and Inspector
General as in case of the original roll.
*
REGIMENTAL RECRUITING SERTICE.
*
1402. The regimental recruiting will be conducted in the manner
prescribed for the general service.
14G3. Every commander of a regiment is the superintendent of the
recruiting service for his regiment, and will endeavor to keep it up to
its establishment, for which purpose he will obtain the necessary funds,
clothing, &c., by requisition to the Adjutant General.
1404. At every station occupied by his regii/l^nt, or any part of it,
the colonel will designate a suitable officer to attenddto the recruiting
diHieS; which selection will not relieve such officer from his company
or other ordinary duties. The officer thus designated will be kept con-
stantly furnished with funds, and, when necessary, with clothing and
camp equipage. (See paragraph 1441.)
1405. The regimental recruiting officer will, with the approbation of
the commanding officei\of the station, enlist all suitable mexj. Ho will
